Insanely Easy Pot Roast

0

This recipe takes a few hours to cook but is so easy to make it’s almost embarrassing to call it a recipe!

Ingredients:

1. 3 to 5 pound* beef chuck roast, 7-bone roast, or something similar. (I have used a 1 ½ pound piece of meat when I’m cooking for two)
2. Dry beefy onion soup mix, 1 packet

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Place meat on a very large piece of aluminum foil in a roasting/lasagna/large cake pan. You need the foil large enough to bring the two sides up together and roll them closed and then do the same thing with the ends so you make a foil packet. I prefer heavy duty foil, but when I don’t have it, I tear off a second, smaller piece of foil that I place in the middle of the larger piece, lining the area where the piece of meat will be.
  3. Place your piece of meat in the center of the piece of foil.
  4. Sprinkle the soup mix over the top of the piece of meat.

Notes:

Servings: 4-8, depending on serving size

Total time: 3 hours and 10 minutes
