The invention of the crockpot is one of the greatest inventions in cooking ever.
Here’s what I do in the crockpot:
1 C. water in the pot.
1 beef rump roast on the water.
Mix together envelopes of dry Italian dressing, ranch dressing, & brown gravy mix.
Dump the dry mix on the roast, spread it on top.
Cook about 4-5 hours.
Take a box of dehydrated scalloped potatoes ($.88 at Walmart) & pour them around the roast in the liquid. (Reserve the envelope of seasoning.)
Cook another hour or two until potatoes are rehydrated.
Pour in the envelope of seasoning from the potatoes.
Mix it up to make gravy. Maybe add a little water if necessary.
