My husband begs for this in the fall and winter. The whole family loves the smell of this cooking while watching Sunday Football games :) Versatile as far as the veggies go...Leave the potatoes out and make some mashed potatoes on the side...great with the rich brown gravy! Ingredients:
3 1/2 lbs boneless bottom round roast or 3 1/2 lbs rump roast |
4 -6 medium potatoes, unpeeled and quartered |
1 large onion, peeled and cut into eighths |
2 -4 carrots, peeled and cut into chunks or 1/2 lb baby carrots |
basil |
dried garlic |
garlic powder |
salt and pepper |
water |
2 packets beef gravy mix or browning sauce (gravy master or kitchen bouquet) |
