How to Make 3 Packet Roast

  1. Preheat your slow cooker to low.
  2. Place the 3-pound beef roast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the dry soup mixes, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle evenly over the roast.
  4. Pour 1 cup of beef broth around the sides of the roast.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender. Internal temperature should reach 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  6. Remove the roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
  8. Whisk 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry.
  9. Gradually whisk the slurry into the cooking liquid in the slow cooker, stirring constantly until the gravy thickens.
  10. Serve the sliced roast with the delicious gravy. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
