3-Envelope Crockpot Roast (without the envelopes)

1.  In a pan, heat 2 tsp of oil over medium-high heat.  Brown the roast on each side for 5 minutes.  This step is not mandatory but it does make the roast taste better!
2.  Add the browned roast to the slow cooker.
3.  In a bowl whisk the water together with the 3 mixes.  Pour the mixture over the roast.
4.  Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours (depending on your slow cooker).  You’ll know the roast is done if you can shred it easily.
5.  I like to shred my roast (as seen in the pictures above).  The way that I did it with this roast was use a hand mixer.  I took a hand mixer to the roast right inside the crockpot. Because it was so tender it shredded up perfectly.  You can also just use a fork to shred.
6.  Serve and enjoy!
