Three Envelope Roast


If you’ve ever wished for a tender, fall-apart pot roast that fills your kitchen with rich, savory aromas—but without the fuss of browning, deglazing, or measuring a dozen spices—you’re in luck.

Meet the legendary Three Envelope Roast: a dump-and-go slow cooker classic that uses three simple seasoning packets to create a deeply flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth roast with almost zero effort.

Born in church cookbooks and passed down through generations of busy home cooks, this recipe is the ultimate “set it and forget it” comfort meal. With just 5 minutes of prep and one slow cooker, you’ll have a hearty, saucy roast ready to serve over mashed potatoes, noodles, or crusty bread—perfect for weeknights, holidays, or feeding a crowd.
