My husband and I enjoy this recipe very much. We don't keep onion soup mix around, so we just substitute salt, pepper, and onion flakes. I start the roast in the morning, at 500 degrees for about 10 minutes (just the seasoned meat, until it browns), then turn down to 200 degrees. I start cutting up my vegetables when the meat goes in the oven, and I just add them (and the buttermilk) whenever I'm done. Then I can I forget about it until dinnertime. The buttermilk does curdle my way, not sure if it happens for the rest of you. I just strain the gravy and all is well. I've also found that the vegetables aren't as flavorful as they could be, since the buttermilk doesn't reach the top of the pot, and all the seasonings went directly on the roast. I'd recommend at least sprinkling some seasonings on top once everything's in the pot; this time I'm trying it with the roast on top, and we'll see how that goes.

This is a wonderful recipe! I used a top round roast, and it was moist and tender. Thanks!

I fixed this meal for my family last night with just a couple modifications. I seared the roast and cooked it a little more slowly, 325 degrees. I added some beef stock to the drippings for more grazy. It was a wonderful and very flavorful winter meal.
