The Best Pot Roast with Carrots – Easy and Tender
Pot roasts are one of those classic meals that are perfect year-round. I didn’t even realize how many times I’ve written about pot roast until I started working on this post!

Why This Pot Roast is So Good
This recipe is super simple, but the flavors really shine. From the tangy kick of the Italian seasoning to the rich depth that comes from the ranch and gravy packets, every bite is bursting with flavor. The pot roast itself is so tender, it just melts in your mouth.

The Italian dressing gives the pot roast a little tang, and the texture is creamy, soft, and flavorful. The meat practically melts in your mouth, and the carrots are perfectly tender.

I also added garlic powder, pepper, and onion powder, along with potatoes and carrots. The veggies soak up the flavors and complement the pot roast wonderfully.

For this version, I didn’t add any additional sides, but you can easily omit the potatoes and carrots and serve it with sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or garlic bread.
