How To Make Three Envelope Roast:
Step 1: Prep the Roast: Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then place it in your slow cooker.
Step 2: Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian, Ranch, and brown gravy seasoning packets with 1 cup of water until smooth.
Step 3: Add to Crockpot: Pour the sauce evenly over the roast. If you’re using the optional vegetables, arrange them around the meat inside the slow cooker.
Step 4: Cook: Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Occasionally spoon some of the sauce over the roast to help all the flavors soak in.
Step 5: Serve: Once the roast is fork-tender and the vegetables are cooked through, serve it hot and enjoy a flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth pot roast.
