Why We Love This Roast Recipe
The combination of the 3 seasoning packets turns your roast into a flavorful roast. All the ingredients are added to the slow cooker to create a tender and juicy roast.
You can even change the seasoning packets and use Easy Homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe or Homemade Onion Soup Mix. Vegetables can also be added to the slow cooker to create a complete meal.
Ingredients
- Rump Roast – You can use a beef chuck roast instead of a rump roast in this recipe if you prefer.
- Ranch Seasoning Mix – Use packet or make Homemade Ranch Dressing Mix
- Beef Broth – Water can be used instead of the beef broth but I think the broth adds more flavor to the gravy so use broth if you can.
