World's Best Roast Beef

This is my favorite roast beef and it's made in the crock pot.  I have made this for countless friends and family to bring over when they needed a warm meal and everyone always asks for this recipe.  My kids all love this.  I typically fix it and serve it over egg noodles or rice and then have it on sandwiches the next night, or sometimes we just skip and go right to sandwiches.  My favorite way, throw it on a freshly baked oleo bun with a little mayo, swiss cheese and spicy pickles...YUM.  I make this so much (weekly) I don't even need the recipe now.


Slow cooker three envelope Roast
3-4lb Eyed Around Roast
1 cup of water
1 cup salsa
1 Lipton Onion Soup dry packet
1 Italian dressing packet
1 Au Jus packet

Mix the three dry packets with a cup of water and whisk it together.  Add 1 cup of mild salsa.  Mix it all together, pour it over the eyed around roast in the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours.  When it's time to eat take a knife and fork and shred it in the crock pot.  It will melt in your mouth.

Meredith - two thumbs way up
Noah - two thumbs way up
Margot---- it depends on her mood, most days she gobbles it up.
Josh and my parents - think this is the BEST roast ever! Me too!  I admit I often eat two sandwiches, even though I shouldn't.

Rump Roast & Spaghetti Sauce

I grew up eating this meal as a kid.  I think I complained every single time I was served it too.  "UGH, I don't like that!"  or "Yuck...I'm not eating that."  So it should not have come as a surprise when my kiddos said "UGH we don't like that!" or "Dat's not meatballs...I want meatballs!"  or "Not SPAGHETTI again!"  Yes, spaghetti again, it's easy and it's something you eat.  No it's not meatballs....it's different try it.  It's okay if you don't like it....you won't starve missing one meal.   Five minutes later I put the food on their plate and they devoured it....just like I did as a kid.  The bitching and moaning just keeps things interesting I guess.

Rump Roast & Spaghetti Sauce
1 Rump Roast....small/medium sized ( Josh bought it and threw away the packaging before I saw how many lbs it was, but I got two meals out of it)
2 jars/cans spaghetti sauce - (I used hunts garlic & herb)

Put your roast in the crock pot and pour the 2 jars/cans of spaghetti sauce over it.  I also through in some salt and pepper for good measure.  Cook on low overnight and all the next day or cook on high for 7-8 hours.  Stir occasionally.  This roast will become very tender and shred on your plate.


The kids moaned and griped a whole lot, but in the end they each cleared their plates and Margot had seconds.   I served this with green peas...they also cleaned that bowl.  And if I would have had yeast rolls, I'd have served them too.  Yes it was a very terrible meal....I don't not recommend making it, unless you need a quick, easy and delicious dinner.
