Crock Pot: 4 Ingredient Pork Roast

1 Packet of powder ranch dressing.
1 Packet of powder Italian dressing.
1 Packet of brown gravy mix.
1 Pork roast 3-4lb, either shoulder or butt. You can also use a beef roast.

I pour each seasoning on like a dry rub, and then after all three packets are on the roast you can throw it in the crock pot for high 4 hrs, or low for 8hrs. You don't need to add any water because the roast will sweat and that will create all the juices you need.

Tear biscuits into pieces and cook for 30-45 minutes until done.
