This roast turns out tender, juicy, and flavorful. Some would say use a
CrockPot. Having tried that, it just doesn't turn out the same.

Amish Beef Roast

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :9:15
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Pounds Beef Chuck Roast
1 Package Onion Soup Mix
Heavy Duty Foil

Use two long sheets of foil. Sprinkle onion soup on roast, after placing it
in center of foil. Wrap roast loosely, but secure enough to hold the juices
in. Place in large pan.

Bake 9 hours at 225 degrees. Remove from oven and let sit for at least
half an hour before serving.

Notes:

Herbs may be added, if desired. A bay leaf, a splash of Worcestersauce
sauce or soy sauce. Do not add any other liquids.

If the roast is served still warm from the oven, it must be served in
chunks, as it is too tender to slice.

The roast may be chilled overnight right in the foil. It can be neatly
sliced while chilled, arranged in a baking dish, covered with gravy, and
reheated gently before serving. It is at least as good, if not better,
served this way.

The juices make an excellent base for gravy, and should be diluted by at
least half as much or more of water, to taste. If the roast is chilled,
the juices will become jellied. Scrape away from the meat into a saucepan,
mix with water, and thicken with a roux.

If you think I'm gonna run my oven for 9 hours in this heat, you've
got rocks in your head! LOL!

Could you also put garlic, carrots and cut up onions in the packet? Do
you suggest browning the meat first?

I'm with you Carol - It's so hot here in Sacramento, I'm even running
the crockpot out on the patio. It's supposed to be 104 today, and 106
tomorrow!

Yes, I often cut slivers of garlic and insert into small slits cut into the
meat. Onions would be fine. I haven't tried other vegetables, but I don't
know if they might end up overcooked. The packet should not be opened during
the cooking process, so adding them later wouldn't work. Having said that,
it might be worth a try.

What I usually do is parboil carrots and potatoes, brush with butter, and
season with salt, pepper, and a dusting of paprika. I roast them at high
heat while the roast rests for half an hour.

Of course I expect you to do this! :-) As you know I'm in the desert and
current temps have been around 112 degrees. With air conditioning (we
can't live without it), an oven at 225 degrees isn't really all that bad.

> Carol, wondering if the entire planet is on the verge of melting

If you were out here right now, you wouldn't be wondering...you'd be
convinced. :-)

It's 96 here now, with a heat index of 104. It's "unpleasant." I
talked to Lynne A. yesterday, and it was 115 in the Badlands of South
Dakota.

Yep, Myrl, it's obscenely hot here in Sacratomato. I just cooked
potatoes for vichyssoise on my hotplate on the patio. Dinner tonight
will also be cooked outside: chicken pesto (2 bosoms left over from
last night), a vegetable melange (essentially a musgovian mixture of
veggies that I don't want to go off) and the above-mentioned
vichyssoise.

Having said all that, I've got a colander full of blackberries from my
back garden that I'm going to put into a pie. And bake. Today. Oi!
Time to crank up the A/C!!!

Go see the Al Gore movie, "An Inconvenient Truth". That'll put an end

Stovetop? Oven? Traditionally, I think pot roasts were originally cooked
on the stovetop and some folks still do. Then the pot gravitated to the
oven. CrockPots arrived on the seen and many folks began using them for
the convenience. I do own two crockpots, but have always been disappointed
in the roasts they produced. I use for spaghetti sauce, stuffed cabbage
rolls, and an assortment of other things.

Well, if like me, you don't have children (and therefore no
grandchildren), you might not have a personal reason to think about
the future of the planet. But then again ...

What if some medical breakthrough happens and we all live to be 150?
We could live twice as long in misery or start now to strongarm
governments into doing the right thing.

Kyoto was a start. It may not have been perfect, but its goals were a
damned sight better than our (Canada's) current federal government's
plan to give tax breaks for bus passes. Only one province has, Québec,
committed to achieve and surpass its Kyoto targets despite the federal
unwillingness to give it any credibility.

In the mood that George is in these days, it might be the time to start
smacking him down for that really stupid decision of his.

On the Today (NBC-TV) show this morning a scientist said that from
satellite photography, the artic circle is losing 32 miles of
circumference every year.

Yeah, the planet is in meltdown! We can complain or stop burning fossil
fuels. The existing ozone holes in the upper atmosphere allow too much of
the sun's radiation to pass through, breaking down the carbons into
chlorine and bromine gas and eating ozone. The sad part of that is it
takes the carbons years to reach the upper atmosphere, so as we look at
the damage done already, looking into the future, we're gonna be toasty
alright!!!

The recipe was decent, though I'd add a can of condensed mushroom soup to
the onion soup mix. Outstanding pot roast, then shred it, add a
hickory/brown sugar BBQ sauce and the shredded beef into a skillet, mix
it up and toss it on rolls, topped with a slice of provolone cheese and
have at it. YMMV,

Gosh, that brings back memories. . .my mom made that a couple of times a
month on Sunday. Popped it in the oven when she got up and Sunday dinner
was ready when we got home. (I haven't had it since.)
