Onion Soup Pot Roast in Foil

An online recipe with instructions for making Onion Soup Pot Roast that is baked wrapped in foil.

Ingredients

- 1 boneless chuck roast, about 3 or 3.5 pounds
- olive oil
- 1 envelope of dry onion soup mix

Instructions

preheat oven to 300 degrees F

place a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 30 inches long) on a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan. If you don't have heavy-duty foil, use two layers of regular foil.

place the roast on top of the foil

Rub a thin layer of olive on all sides of the meat

Sprinkle half of the dry soup mix under the meat and the other half on top of the meat.

Fold the foil over the meat and make sure it is tightly sealed.
TIP: If you leave a a little poket of space on top of the meat it can limit the amount of juices that escape from the foil during the cooking period.

Bake in a 300 degree oven for about 3.5 to 4 hours

Warning: hot steam will escape from the foil when you cut it open after cooking so use care (and possibly oven mitts) to avoid burning yourself.

Variation:

Mix the dry onion soup mix with one (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup and/or one (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of celery soup and pour the mixture over the meat before sealing the roast in foil.
