Roast

Not much to say about this one.  I brown the roast.  Then I put carrots, onions and halved potatoes at the bottom of a roasting pan and put the roast on top.  I put about 1/2 a cup of water in and then I sprinkle everything with a package of onion soup mix.  Cook at 350 for about 3 hours.  For me, the key to a great roast meal is the gravy.  Add beef bullion and water to taste (depending how much you want to make) to drippings.  Bring to a boil.  Add flour/water mixture to thicken.  My mama is the master of gravy.  I think it just gets better the more you do it.   It seems like we had this meal every other Sunday growing up and I loved every bite of it.
