2 tb Gravy mix; (below)
2 tb Italian dressing mix;(below)
2 c Water

MMMMM---------------------RANCH DRESSING MIX--------------------------
1/3 c Dry buttermilk powder
3 tb Parsley flakes
2 1/2 ts Garlic powder
2 1/2 ts Onion powder
2 ts Dried minced onion
2 ts Dried dill weed
1 1/2 ts Kosher salt
+=OR=+
1 ts Salt
1 ts Black pepper

MMMMM-------------------------GRAVY MIX------------------------------
3 tb Beef bouillon granules
1 ts Onion powder
1 ts Garlic powder
1/2 ts Thyme
1/2 ts Pepper
1/2 c Flour

MMMMM--------------------ITALIAN DRESSING MIX-------------------------
1 tb Garlic powder
1 tb Onion powder
1 tb Sugar
2 tb Oregano
1/4 ts Thyme
1 ts Basil
1 tb Dried parsley
2 tb Salt

In a pan, heat 2 tsp of oil over medium-high heat. Brown
the roast on each side for 5 minutes. This step is not
mandatory but it does make the roast taste better!

Add the browned roast to the slow cooker.

In a bowl whisk the water together with the 3 mixes.
Pour the mixture over the roast.

Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours (depending on your
slow cooker). You'll know the roast is done if you can
shred it easily.

RANCH DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
airtight container. To make ranch dressing whisk
together 3 tb of ranch mix, 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 cup
milk until smooth. Refrigerate for half hour before
serving.

GRAVY MIX: Run all the ingredients through a blender or
food processor. Pulse about 10 times until all the
granules are the same consistency. Store in an airtight
container. To make gravy, mix 1/4 cup of mix with 2 cups
of milk or water in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat
until smooth and it thickens.

ITALIAN DRESSING MIX: Run all the ingredients through a
blender or food processor. Pulse about 10 times until
all the granules are the same consistency. Store in an
airtight container. To make Italian dressing mix
together 1/4 cup cinder vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, 2
tb water and 2 tb mix. Store in the refrigerator.

UDD NOTES: This works perfectly in my 6 qt casserole
crockpot. I have now made up the "dry-mix" stuff above
but for the first go I used up some Ranch Dressing Mix
and Knorr Brown Gravy mix I had on hand. And used 2
cups of creamy Italian Dressing from a bottle in my
ice box in place of the water.

This is a *VERY* forgiving/flexible recipe.
