'Cheap' Roast Dinner

NEED:
Cheap round bone or blade cut roast, 5 lbs.
1 pkg. dry onion soup mix
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
aluminum foil, wide heavy duty

Preheat oven to 350*F.

1) Tear off about 2 1/2-3 feet of foil. Fold in half.
2) Lay roast in middle of foil. Spread both soups over roast. Wrap and seal so juices won't drip out.
3) Cook in 350* oven for 3 hours. Be careful when unwrapping foil so hot juices don't spill.

NOTE: If you like garlic then peel and slice 2 to 4 cloves, poke holes in roast with a sharp knife inserting a slice of garlic into each hole. The garlic flavor spreads through the roast as it cooks....

No cleanup! Makes its own gravy. Great with mashed potatoes and hot vegetable.

Chatty,
This is a must to try . I have been so hungry for a good roast of beef . I have done brisket this way , also. Oh, Yummy this is one to copy girls . Mashed potatoes and you gravey in in the foil.

Thanks

That roast sounds great. I have one cooking at this moment.

Here's my recipe.

Put a large package of scrubbed carrots all over the bottom a big roaster. Salt and pepper.
Put a large cheap roast on top of that. Salt and pepper.
Scrub and Halve enough red potatoes to circle all around the roast. Salt and pepper.
Core and quarter a small head of cabbage, break it up, and lay it on top and around the whole thing.
Quarter an onion and put it on top of that. Salt and pepper.
Put a lid on the roaster and cook at 350 for about four hours.

Take the roast out of the oven and put a can of buiscuits in. Dip some of the juice out and mix with a large can of Mushroom soup for gravy, make a salad, take the biscuits out, and eat up.

I've made that for years and my kids love it.

As the sons in law have came along they all hated cabbage and my husband did too, but cooked that way they all fight over who gets it.
