Pot roast is the ultimate comfort food in my book. The meat gets deliciously tender after a long simmer, and the gravy is out of this world! But traditional oven pot roasts can take hours of monitoring and babysitting. My easy 3 packet slow cooker roast is the perfect solution for busy home cooks!

This fuss-free recipe uses a flavorful mix of pantry spice packets stirred into the cooking liquid to infuse the meat with mouthwatering flavor as it cooks. No need for a long ingredient list or complicated techniques. Just dump and go!

The blend of zesty Italian dressing mix, creamy ranch dressing mix, and savory brown gravy mix gives this pot roast incredible depth. As it simmers away, the meat soaks up all that goodness. You’ll have supremely juicy and fall-apart tender meat in about 6-8 hours.

I love shredding up leftovers for tacos or sandwiches the next day. Or keep it classic with buttery mashed potatoes and gravy on the side. However you serve it up, this easy 3 packet roast equals total comfort food bliss!
