Who likes a good, easy roast?
Who likes recipes that only dirty up ONE pot?
I do! I do!
Here is THAT recipe:
It has been in my family ever since I can remember. One of my favorite family recipes!
Cast of Characters:
Rump Roast (your choice of size)
Carrots (I use 3 carrots for 2 people)
Potatoes (I use 5 potatoes)
Salt (1 tsp)
Pepper (1 tablespoon)
1 pack Beefy Onion Soup Mix
1 Can Cream of Mushroom Soup
2-3 cups of water
First, I like to rinse off my rump roast with water.
It’s just something about red meat in those nasty package juices that does it for me.
It makes me feel better.
Place your rump roast into a pot.
I love cooking with cast iron and it works great for a pot roast.
I swear it tastes different in this kind of pot, but any oven safe pot will do.
Go ahead and rinse your veggies.
I use potatoes and carrots, but onions go great in this recipe too.
Cut up your carrots into thirds.
Make a smiley face out of your potatoes.
I mean, you just half them but smiley faces make them taste better.
Promise.
Throw your carrots and potatoes into your pot.
Add your 1 teaspoon of salt
and your tablespoon of pepper
Mix your beefy onion soup mix with 2-3 cups of water.
I usually start out with 2 cups and check the roast halfway through cooking and add more water if needed.
You want your pot to always be half full of water (or a little less than half) halfway through, so it doesn’t dry out.
Plus, you’ll have more gravy that way.
Add the cream of mushroom soup to top it off..
I am VERY aware this looks disgusting, but I promise it is AMAZING once all is said and done.
Be sure you cover your pot with a lid of some sort…
Put into a 325 degree oven for 4 hours
I usually check the roast after 2 hours to make sure there is enough water.
You want that gravy when it’s done!
Then, cut your roast and serve!
You don’t even have to take it out of the pot.
How is that for easy?
You can also put into a crockpot and turn on low for 6-8 hours while you are gone to work or running errands.
It doesn’t get much easier than that.
ENJOY!!
