Make in your sleep pot roast dinner

(from metzj’s recipe box)

Throw in at 2:00, practically forget about it, eat at 6:00. To really please the family, put a dozen frozen rolls out in the morning to defrost and rise, pop in the oven right before dinner.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In large pot, brown roast on all sides in hot oil.

  2. Dump in soup mix and enough water to cover roast, place lid. Cook for 3 hours over medium-low heat. Check occasionally to make sure it’s at a low boil and not a vigorous boil so that it won’t be dry and tough.
