ANNA'S POT ROAST RECIPES

I make my Roast Beef different ways depending on what Elmer or I would like or what hits my mood when I go to make it.  So here are a couple of the recipes I make.  The first one is the one I made last Sunday, it comes from Betty Crocker.

Pot Roast In Foil

4-pound pot beef
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup or you can use homemade mushroom soup
Bouillon - Onion Mix (recipe bellow)
8 small potatoes
8 medium carrots, cut crosswise into halves
2 Tablespoon water

Place piece of foil, 30 X 18 inches, in ungreased pan, 13 X 9 X 2 inches.  Place beef in pan.  Mix soup and Bouillon-Onion Mix (below); spread over beef.  Add vegetables, sprinkle with water.  Fold foil over and seal.  Cook in oven at 300 degrees for 4 hours.  Skim fat from gravy; serve gravy with beef.

Bouillon-Onion Mix

Mix 1/4 cup instant minced onion, 2 tablespoons instant beef bouillon and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder.  (To make soup, stir mix into 4 cups boiling water, reduce heat.  Cover, simmer for 5 minutes).

NOTE: 1 package ( 1 3/8 ounces) onion soup mix can be substituted for the Bouillon-Onion Mix.

Pot Roast Recipe II

2 pound roast or larger
1 Tablespoon A-1 sauce
1 envelops Lipton Onion soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)

Place roast on large enough heavy duty foil to cover and seal.  On top of meat put A - 1 sauce (more if needed) to cover.  Add onion soup and mushroom soup.  Pull up foil and seal.  Bake at 250 degrees for 4 to 5 hours.  Do not salt.
