Comments:Servings on this recipe depends on the size of roast you use. But most roast will serve 6 or more. My poor husband thinks that I "slave" over the stove all day when I cook this roast, and I have never told him just how simple and easy it is to prepare, my little secret. This is a "no" fuss, and "no" mess recipe and turns out perfect every time.
Recipe for Perfect Pot Roast
Ingredients 3 or 4 pound Rump Roast 2 cans whole new potatoes 1 small bag of baby carrots 1 box Lipton Onion Soup Mix Foil
Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13 X 9 inch baking pan with foil, twice, once lengthwise, then across. Take two long lengths of foil and lay inside already lined pan, lay one piece lengthwise and the other across the width of pan. Place roast inside foil, place drained canned potatoes around roast, place carrots around roast as well. Use both packages of soup mix, sprinkle mix over roast and potatoes and carrots. Seal the two pieces of foil over and around roast mixture. Make sure that no heat can leak out while cooking. Cook for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Turn down to 250 degrees and let cook for at least 6 hours. I usually put this on to cook early in the morning and let it cook until we are ready to eat, which is around 6:00 in the evening. You do not need to even watch this roast cook.........just forget about it until dinner time. It will turn out perfect every time and the taste is out of this world. Leftovers are great for stew and soups later.

Comments:Serves 6 to 8. I buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts in bulk on sale. I boil until done and tear into bite size pieces. I then place 2-3 cups in a freezer bags, cool and put in the freezer. When it's time to make a chicken casserole (obviously a staple in our house), all I have to do is pull out a bag from the freezer, defrost in the microwave and put the casserole together. The best part is I only have to mess with cooking chicken once a month!
