Mom made it a while back, sharing a generous amount of it with us.

Mom’s 3 Packet Slow Cooker Roast Beef

To be honest, with 3 packets of seasoning mix I was concerned that it would be way too salty.

It wasn’t.

The onion slices create lots of liquid diluting the seasonings.

Mom used a rump roast. Top or bottom round would work well too.

According to my calculations each serving has 172 calories and *4 Weight Watchers Points Plus, *4 Weight Watchers SmartPoints and *4 WW Freestyle SmartPoints.

To make a complete meal in a pot, add additional veggies (potatoes, carrots, parsnips, etc.)

Or serve over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes with salad and vegetables on the side.

For thicker gravy, remove the meat and then turn the crock pot to HIGH. Dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in 2-3 tablespoons water, stirring until smooth. Then whisk the mixture into the liquid in the crock pot. Cover and let it bubble until thickened, about 20 to 15 minutes.

You can use the leftovers to make sandwiches, quesadillas, pot pie, soup, stew…

Enjoy!
