A classic dish - perfect for your slow cooker!

Notes
- This recipe is featured in our FAMILY FAVOURITES BOOK (book 6 in our series of 7) - available from the shop tab of this website
- After years of seeing our American members talk about this recipe, I knew I had to try this for myself – and boy it did not disappoint! ?
- The Hidden Valley dry ranch mix isn’t something Australian supermarkets sell but, like me, you can easily order it online to make this dish the way it’s intended. I purchased mine from HERE. Alternatively, you can make your own easy blend yourself (instructions below)
- While the traditional recipe uses pepperoncino pickled peppers, which I also couldn’t get in Australia, I substituted with a mild pickled chili that was available in our mainstream supermarkets. While I did cook the recipe with the chillies, I discarded the actual chillies prior to serving to keep the spice level suitable for our little ones, but by all means leave them on your plate if you love chillies ?
MAKE YOUR OWN RANCH DRY DRESSING MIX
- ½ cup powdered milk powder
- 2T dried parsley
- 2 tsp dried dill
- 3 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp dried onion flakes
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- Combine all and store in airtight container for up to 6months
- 30g is equal to one purchased packet of ranch mix

Made this and it was amazing!!! Serve with mash and bread and butter to soak up the juices!
I made my own ranch powder using buttermilk powder and also used pickled jalapeno and some liquid instead of mild chillies.
Delicious 😋, the gravy was so yummy meat was tender and tasty as well. I made my own ranch dressing easy peasy. Hubby loved it. Definitely worth making it again. Thank you Paulene for sharing.
I’ve made this twice now and it’s been a hit with the family. So rich and delicious. We’ve served it on baked potatoes and on breadrolls. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback Yvette – So appreciated! 🙂
I made this for the first time, and it will not be the last! I made my own ranch seasoning using coconut milk, and used jalapeños for the spice. Oh my goodness! We baked potatoes in the fire we had going outside, this was a match made in Heaven! So tender and juicy, the flavours were amazing! My husband is really loving the different beef roasts from my slow cooker, which is saying something!
So pleased you enjoyed it Adele! 🙂
