Delicious! Made it with a chuck roast which I browned in olive oil & garlic before putting it in the slowcooker. I added in small red potatoes & carrots. Only added in 1/2 package of each seasoning and 1/2 can beef consume 1/2 can water. Perfect!! cooked on low for about 5 1/2 hours

I tried this one and my husband and I really liked it. I follow it exactly, but you could make it without the broth and it would still turn out fine. We pair it with roast potatoes and the recipe 'Green Beans with Cherry Tomatoes'. It is a dinner we look forward to!

Love this recipe. I find the Italian spices a little too much for me so I cut it back a bit, other than that same everything and makes a plain roast delicious.

With apologies to the creator of this recipe--I followed the directions EXACTLY (adding cut up red potatoes and carrots) and it was so salty that my family would not eat it. Very disappointing.

I made this on the fly, having a thawed roast and no energy to cook it on a Wednesday night at 9:30. Given my predicament, I was of course missing one ingredient, the package dry Italian salad dressing mix, so I improvised, using Italian Seasoning and Roasted Garlic and Peppers seasoning and it still turned out fabulous! I will try it the directed way the next time as I'll have more time to plan, but what a beautiful roast it made! So, so flavourful, so tender! A definite hit!

I'm not sure what I did wrong...but the meat was dry and rather tasteless... followed the instructions and cooked on low for 8 hours. After 6 it was completely cooked and dry...wish I could say I loved it as I was so excited to try it!

Used 2/3 bottle of fat free Zesty Italian dressing instead of the dry mix. 1/2 can low sodium beef broth, 2 large onions quartered, 12 oz of sliced mushrooms, and the rest of the listed ingredients sans salt. Used corn starch with the remaining broth and it made a great sauce for smashed potatoes. It was a big hit at my house. I will add carrots the next time for even better results.

Came home to the smell of this roast ready and waiting as we walked in the door. The meat was tender, delicious and quickly gobbled up by the family. Made exactly as written, I thickened gravy a bit prior to serving. Quick, simple, keeper recipe...thank you!

Made with a Chuck Loin Roast as written except the au jus packet and I browned the meat; it was great. Used the liquid to make a delicious pan gravy. Will use this recipe again!

This was delicious! I used a rump roast since that's all I had. I also did not use the beef broth in order to reduce the sodium content, just 4 cups of water like some others suggested and I did not add any additional salt and it was perfect!!
