Roxy15 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hidden Valley Crockpot Roast: 1 Beef Roast-I WILL ONLY USE A CHUCK ROAST..ROUND ROAST IS TOO TOUGH! 1 Pkg. Dried Brown Gravy Mix 1 Pkg. Dried Italian Salad Dressing Mix 1 Pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix Garlic In A Jar-I know Albertson’s sells it, other stores probably do too 1/2 Cup Water Or Beef Broth-I PREFER BEEF BROTH-You may want to add more beef broth if you want a big bowl of gravy Sliced Mushrooms Garlic Put sliced mushrooms, small baby carrots and garlic on the bottom of crockpot. Rub roast beef with Garlic In A Jar-or just sprinkle some garlic powder and pepper over the roast. ***Garlic In A Jar is better though. Place roast beef in Crockpot. Put onions and garlic around the roast. Mix the Dried Brown Gravy Mix, Dried Italian Salad Dressing Mix and Hidden Valley Mix together in a bowl and sprinkle this mixture over the roast. Pour water or beef broth around the roast-BEEF BROTH IS ALOT BETTER Cook on low for 7-9 hours…I put in around 8 or so and we ate late..between 8 and 9 p.m. ***You can put potatoes in..but…I boil them separate to make mashed potatoes. The potatoes turn brown in a Crockpot and I don’t like brown mashed potatoes To make gravy….I find this is the best way to make broth gravy. ***I eyeball the flour and milk till gravy is at the consistency I want it to be. Mix 4 T. flour with 1 cups milk…I use a whisk. Pour degreased broth in a pan. Let broth get hot and then add the flour and milk mixture to it…use a whisk to make a smooth gravy. ***If needed…add some kitchen bouquet to it to get it to the color you want..sometimes I have to..sometimes I don’t. 1 Quote Link to comment
