MomsMenu.com Recipe Finder Savory Crock Pot Roast

2 lb. beef rump roast
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian Dressing (can use robust/hearty Italian)
1 pkg. Good Seasons Garlic/Herb Dressing
1 12-oz. can beer (alcohol will cook out)

for gravy:
roast drippings
2-3 tbsp. butter
4-5 tbsp. flour

Sprinkle one of the dressing packets into the bottom of the crock pot. Place the roast on top, then sprinkle the other dressing packet over the roast. Pour the beer over the whole mess, then cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, until the meat is as done as you like it.
The meat comes out so tender it literally falls apart. To make your gravy, remove the roast from the crock pot and keep warm. Add several tablespoons of butter or margarine and whisk in. Add several tablespoons of flour and whisk in. Turn the crock pot on high for 10 minutes
and stir the gravy occasionally. Delicious!

Note: The beer really must be the secret to the roast's tenderness. I thought I could get away with using 12 oz. of chicken broth once when I didn't have any beer in the pantry. The roast was still good, but not nearly as tender as it had been when I used the beer. I've gone
back to using strictly the beer and the meat comes out great every time.
