It's in the Crock Pot

So, there's this fantastic pot roast dish I like to make, but of course, it's a slightly modified recipe from the original one. Porwest follow the rules? Are you kidding me? I put in a 3 pound plus chuck roast, then put half a packet of brown gravy powder mix and half the packet of Ranch dressing powder mix, some onions, potatoes, and carrots and then added in the rest of the brown gravy mix and Ranch dressing mix. Cover and cook on low in the crock pot for about 8 hours or more. The picture doesn't do it justice, of course. But it's just the raw mix. So, what are some of the modifications? They aren't many. For one thing, it calls for slices of butter to be put on the meat all around it. It also calls for au jus mix instead of brown gravy. It also calls for peppercinis. I don't like peppercinis, so I leave those out. I don't have much use for au jus, and brown gravy is more useful and practical, and I always have some on hand, so I use that instead and it works out just fine. It doesn't need the butter. Normally you don't put in carrots and potatoes, but I like them cooked with a pot roast, so I just add them in. The original dish is called a Mississippi Pot Roast, but I just call it good eats.
