This is a good meal to have a cold day like this. Meat and potatoes. It warms you soul! A bottom round roast with potatoes, carrots, and peas covered in a creamy golden mushroom sauce.
The prep time of this meal is 15-20 minutes. Cook time of this meal is 2-3 hours(depending on the size of the roast).
2 cans Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup1 envelope Lipton Onion soup mix
2-3 cans whole, peeled potatoes
2 cans peas
1 bag of baby, peeled carrots
Bottom Round Roast
Im cooking for 3-4 people, so I got a roast the was about 3.5 pounds, used 3 cans of potatoes, and about 3/4ths of the bag of carrots.
Preheat the oven to 400degrees.
In a mixing bowl, pour in the two cans of Golden Mushroom soup and add the envelope of onion soup mix. Mix the two together.
Place the roast in the center of your baking dish. Spread the potatoes, carrots and peas around the roast.
Take the Golden Mushroom/Onion mix and spread over the potatoes, carrots, peas, and roast. Be sure to rub it into the roast with the spoon.
Wrap tinfoil and put in it in the oven. Set your timer for one hour.
After one hour, stir the potatoes, carrots and peas. If the veggies are not done, put it back in the oven checking at half hour interviels.
When the veggies are done, put the roast on a separate plate(this makes it easier to get everything out) and scoop all the veggie mix into another dish and cover it in foil to keep the heat in.
Put the roast back into your baking dish. Take a few spoon fulls of the golden mushroom mix and rub it onto the roast to keep it from drying out. Re-cover with tin foil and stick back in the oven for half hour interviels until roast is cooked to your liking. It took our roast about 2 hours to cook to medium rare/medium temperature.
Some roasts may come with a pop-up timer already in it, or you can put your own in. I end up cutting into the roast a few times to check the reddness, but a popup timer is obviously more efficent.
This will make my human friends very happy :D. The only issue that I have is the fact that a certain human friend of mine really hates mushrooms! Is there a substitute for the golden mushroom soup? Or shall I force feed the human?
ReplyDeleteForce feeding is always the answer!
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about golden mushroom is that there aren't too many acutal mushroom pieces(whatever mushrooms that are in there mix into the veggies anyway), and the soup itself doesn't taste like mushrooms, especially mixed with the onion mix.
The only other thing Ive ever made this with was cream of mushroom, which tastes like mushrooms. So off the top of my head I can't think of whatelse would taste good with this!
I guess any creamier-type, rich sauce would be acceptable.
