Slow Cooker Mississippi Pot Roast

I first heard of this recipe on the food network.... there are many different versions of it and it's a super easy recipe. This is great served as is with mashed potatoes, I thicken the gravy. Or you could use as a french dip sandwich with cheese melted on a toasted sub roll and use the juice for dipping. This is quite salty.... don't use any salt to season. Use ground pepper if you like. The original recipe called for a whole cube of butter!! No reason to use that much! I also tried with half a packet of each seasoning packet but my hubby liked it better using the whole packet. Lots of ways you could use this roast. YUMMO!
