Recipe(tried): Sunday Dinner at Our House - Garlic Lover's Pot Roast

Today for lunch I made up a new pot roast recipe. We thought that it was delicious, so I had better type the recipe here at TKL. When I want to make it again, it will be easier to find here than to look in all of my cookbooks for the recipe!

We had: Garlic Lovers' Pot Roast with roasted potatoes, carrots, and gravy, rice, zipper cream peas, biscuits with butter and cherry preserves, CLAUSSEN Pickles, corn relish, pickled beets, sweet tea with lemon, and Blue Bell Ice Cream for dessert.

GARLIC LOVERS' POT ROAST

3-4 lb. eye of round pot roast, rinsed and patted dry
5 cloves of garlic, cut into 3 slivers (you will have 15 pieces)
seasoned flour--add 1/2 tsp. onion powder, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. rosemary leaves, and 1/2 tsp. parsley flakes to 1 cup self-rising flour
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Meanwhile, cut 15 slits into the top and sides of the roast. Add one sliver of garlic into each slit. Cut the slit large enough so that the garlic cannot be seen. In a large plastic bag place the roast and the seasoned flour. Make sure that all of the roast is coated with seasoned flour. Add the roast to the heated olive oil and brown on all sides. Remove the roast to a platter.

In a Reynolds' Plastic Cooking Bag, add:

1 Tbsp. flour, shaking well
1 red bell pepper, sliced thinly
2 onions, sliced thinly and separated into rings
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
1 (8 oz.) pkg. fresh mushrooms, washed and sliced
4-5 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
1/2 bag small carrots

Mix together:

2 envelopes of dry onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup red wine
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice

Put the roast on top of the vegetables and pour the soup mixture over the top. Cut six 1" slits into the top of the cooking bag. Place the cooking bag with the roast and vegetables on an aluminum foil lined pan. Roast for 3-3 1/2 hours. The meat will be tender and juicy and the vegetables will be cooked to perfection.

Happy Sunday!
