Crock Pot Beef Roast

    After having tried various ways of cooking roast, I've learned that they all need a little something added in to help with the flavor. Over the years, I've tried onion soup mix and Italian dressing, but this recipe tries something that I've not - a combination of ranch and au jus mixes. This turned out to be a great idea and one that I'll try. After tasting these tender beef cuts at a local recipe contest, I was sold on this idea.
