I need to revisit some pot roast ideas:

[babylonsister]

It's going to be cold and rainy here this weekend so I think this will be Sunday dinner.
I tried a search but couldn't find the thread I was looking for. One of you wonderful
cooks mentioned they wrap their roasts in foil so the gravy doesn't disappear, I think.
Did I get that right? I do want to try this technique; due to long cooking times, I have
usually wound up with less gravy than I wanted, most of it dried out on the bottom of the
pot.
Thanks!:hi:

1. My MIL's Pot Roast

This is the never fail Brisket Recipe used for Passover.

You need a First Cut Brisket (The butcher knows what this is---You really can use any pot roast for this recipe but for a holiday meal we always use the Brisket)

Lay two large sheets of heavy duty foil in a roasting pan and place the brisket on the foil. You'll want to have enough foil to wrap the meat completely. You want to be able to form a loose pouch


With the meat on the foil, add a pouch of Lipton Onion Soup Mix, one cup beef broth and one cup water. You can also add carrots, celery and or dried prunes.

Seal the foil into a large pouch and cook in a 325 oven. I usually go about 20 minutes a pound.

When done take the roast out of the oven and let it sit unopened for at least a half an hour. Don't peek.


This roast is much better the second day and we usually cook it the day before and warm it up in the juices.

3. Thanks for the tip, have roast in oven now,

it will be great to heat it up for dinner after work tomorrow. I never bought a brisket before so this is a double experiment. Any other ideas with this cut?

4. Using the same technique

Sear the Brisket on a grill or on the stove top. Wrap in aluminimum foil and add a cup or two of barbeque sauce.

Yummy Barbeque Briscut. I Salt and Pepper the meat prior to searing it.

5. The best pot roast I have had was made in the pressure cooker.

It is more tender than traditionally cooked pot roast. 'Course you need a pressure cooker first.......

6. Cowboy Pot Roast

Sure fire crowd pleaser.

One roast
One onion quartered
One can of chopped tomatoes
One can of chopped tomatoes with green chiles

Two cans black beans
One can pinto beans.


Place first four ingredients in crock pot and cook for 8-10 hours. Remove pot roast from crock pot, shred meat, place back in pot. Add beans, cook for an additional hour.

Serve with corn bread,salad.
