I just made a simple pot roast recipe the other day and it was so good. It's called 3 packet pot roast. You take a packet of ranch dressing mix, a packet of Italian dressing mix, and a packet of brown gravy mix (these are all the dry powder mixes). You put your roast in the crock pot and mix all the packets with 1 cup of water and pour on top of the roast and that's it. I did season the roast with salt and pepper too. It was so easy and so yummy.
I am not the best cook either. I am just starting to branch out and try new things since I have become a SAHM. I think it just takes some practice.
