Beginner's Roast

I decided on a beef recipe this week – we don’t cook beef very often at home, but it is always good to have a reliable recipe on hand for a beef roast. This one is super easy – the recipe is from Campbell’s soup, a long time ago. If you don’t have a Dutch oven, you can wrap the roast tightly in aluminum foil and put in a baking dish with at least 2 inch sides, to catch any spills.

1 3-4 pound eye of round roast
1 large sweet onion sliced
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup water
1 package brown gravy mix
1 clove garlic minced

Yields 6 servings

Place roast in a lightly greased Dutch oven, and top with sliced onion. Stir together soup and next 3 ingredients; pour over roast.

Bake, tightly covered, at 325 degrees for 3 hours and 30 minutes or until tender.
