3-Envelope.....Anything

The best thing about crockpot meals is that they require little to no work when you get home. Fortunately, this can mean the work has to be done first thing in the morning and I am NOT a morning person.  The idea of getting up early to prepare food that I'm not going to get to eat for 10 hours is not one that sets well with me.  With a 3-Envelope meal, you can get this meal started without even setting your alarm clock back.  If you can remember the name of the recipe, you can probably remember the recipe.  You'll need: The meat of your choice, 1 cup water and 3 envelopes of seasoning, usually a ranch packet, an italian seasoning packet, and a gravy packet the corresponds with the type of meat you are using.

Example:

Three Envelope Roast
1 Roast
1 Cup Water
1 Envelope Italian Seasoning
1 Envelope Ranch Seasoning
1 Envelope Beef Gravy Mix

Done!  The great thing about this is you don't have to stick to the recipe. At all. (Not that I ever do anyway.)  You can use chicken instead of a roast.  You can use an Onion Soup Mix instead of the Ranch.  I've tried it all of these ways and loved them all.  There are two warnings that come with this recipe: If you're trying to keep your sodium down, this is probably not the recipe for you AND.... make extra.
