4 Packet Roast

I know this is not the greatest picture but the roast is awesome!  I have been using my crockpot a lot lately and it has done me well.  This recipe is another one from Sisters Cafe.  My husband is not a pot roast fan but he loved this one.  It also makes yummy gravy.  

4 Packet Roast

1 packet ranch dressing mix

1 packet brown gravy mix

1 packet Italian salad dressing mix

1 packet onion soup mix

1 roast of choice  ( I used 3 - 4 lb rump roast)

1/2 - 3/4 cup of water

assorted veggies if desired 

Place roast in crockpot.  Arrange vegetables around the roast if being used.  Sprinkle the mix packets over the roast.  Pour water around the roast.  Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours.

Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops

I got this recipe off of Picky Palate.  This is a very good way to make pork chops.  I know a lot of times pork chops are very dry.  That is not the case with this meal.  They turn out moist and have so much flavor.  Very easy too, just throw it in the crock pot and walk away!!  I love recipes like this.  Also what's better than a recipe that only has three ingredients. 

Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops

6 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
1 packet dry Ranch Dressing Seasoning
10 oz can Cream of Chicken Soup

4 lbs peeled, cubed potatoes
5 Tablespoons real butter
1 Cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
6 cloves roasted garlic (click for directions how to roast garlic)
1- 1 1/2 Cups warm skim milk (any milk will do, I just happened to use skim)
1 Tablespoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, or to taste

1. Place pork chops, Ranch seasoning and soup into a medium sized crock pot over high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 6 hours.

2. Place potatoes into a large pot of cold water. Place onto stovetop over high heat and bring to a boil. Once water is boiling, cook for 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain and transfer to the work bowl of a stand or electric mixer. Mix on low until potatoes are mashed then add butter, parmesan, garlic, milk, salt and pepper. Season to taste if needed. For thinner mashed potatoes add more milk, slowly until your desired consitency.

3. Scoop mashed potatoes onto serving plates and top with pork chops and soup gravy from crock pot. Enjoy!

Here is any easy recipe that you can put in the crock pot and forget about it. It tastes sooo good. I don't have a picture but have had so many requests for this recipe that I have to post it without. Just know that if you try this recipe you will love it! I have also doubled the recipe and made it a freezer meal. It is a great way to make this easy meal even easier.
