Roast Beef or Pot Roast

Pot Roast
  • 1 Chuck Roast
  • 1 Envelope Onion Soup
  • Potatoes, chunks
  • Carrots, chunks
  • Celery, chunks (optional)

Place the roast in a roasting pan, add ¼ cup water, and shake the instant onion soup on top of the meat. 

Cover with aluminum foil and bake or roast in 325°F oven for 1.5 hours. 

Remove foil carefully (hot steam) and drop in the vegetables.  Cover again and bake for another half an hour.  Check for doneness. 

A variant is the addition of Cream of Mushroom Soup (no added water).  Cook as above.

You can also use Brown Gravy Mix instead of Onion Soup.
