Lybbert's "A-1" Pot Roast

This recipe is from our family friends the Lybberts. It is a wonderfully easy and delicious recipe. The roast will make its own gravy while it is cooking, and can be served with potatoes and carrots.

3-5 lb Pot Roast
small bottle A-1 sauce
1 pkt dry onion soup mix
1-2 cans Cream of Mushroom soup

Line a baking dish (large enough to fit your roast) with foil and a couple inches of foil overhang. Place roast on foil. Top with other ingredients. Use another piece of foil to make a "packet" for the roast. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 2-4 hours.

*Kent's tip: Add fresh mushrooms and sliced onions inside the roast packet.
