3 Packet Roast Beef
2-3 lb favorite cut of roast (I used tri-tip this time around, b/c it's what I had)
1 pkt Au Jus dry mix
1 pkt Italian dressing dry mix
1 pkt Mesquite Seasoning dry mix
3 c water
This is really difficult, so follow along closely: Take meat out of package and place in crockpot. Open all three packages of dry mix and sprinkle over meat. Add water. Place lid on crockpot. Set on low for 6-8 hours.
I personally like to shred the meat once it's finished, and since the flavor is so intense, I usually add more water to make the meat extra juicy :0) Makes for great dipping sauce!
Since I slaved over dinner all day, I thought I'd throw in an over-the-top dessert too. How about some cookies.
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cup quick-cooking oats
Preheat oven to 350 degrees . In a large bowl, cream together shortening, margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats until just combined. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 minutes or light brown. Don't over-bake. Cool and store in an airtight container.
However, don't do this....
When I took out my first pan of cookies they looked like this:
I couldn't figure out what I did wrong....so I went back through the recipe and realized I had forgotten the flour...oops!
These look a lot better, at least Clark thinks so :0)

I love your blog and am always wanting to try new things to cook. Today for lunch I will make your bacon sphagetti since I happen to have all the ingredients. I wouldn't of thought to make it without your blog. Thanks!!!
That looks so yummy!
If you don't mind I'd like to share another easy roast my hubby's family calls "Italian Beef". In a crockpot place a 3 lb. roast. Pour over it 1 pkt. Italian seasoning mix (dry), 1 pkt. onion soup mix, 8-10 pepperoncini's (in pickle isle). Add a few cups of water and 1/4 cup juice from pepperoncini jar. Cook on low 6-8 hours. Shred and serve as sandwiches with mozzerella. It's a family favorite. Sounds so similar to yours!
