Onion Pot Roast
There are a few ways to vary this super simple two ingredient recipe. You can add a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, or pour a cup of burgundy wine over the roast before cooking.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 3 hours

Total Time: 3 hours, 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 lbs. round steak or beef chuck roast
  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix

Preparation:

Place meat on an 18x12" sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Sprinkle the dry soup mix over the meat. Wrap up tightly in the foil, using double folds. Place in roasting pan and bake at 300 degrees F for 3 hours.

To make this a one-pot meal, an hour before the beef is done, open up the foil and put some small red potatoes, whole mushrooms, and baby carrots around the meat. Wrap it all up again and bake until vegetables are tender. Serves 6-8

easiest pot roast, Member quickdrawdegraw

I had no dry onion soup mix, so I chopped up an onion finely and layer the roast, added some pepper and garlic powder, turned out juicy and great!!
