Having never made a roast before, I experimented with a few ingredients to come up with this hearty all-in-one meal. Not only is it easy, but the tender entree gets terrific flavor from garlic, onion and bay leaves.

Very easy to make! My family loved it! I have ages from 4 to 47.

The only thing that I would do differently is use beef broth instead of water when putting it in the oven. Otherwise, everyone loved it and will definitely make this one again!

This meal was delicious!! I used a very large Dutch oven to do mine so I added 2 sticks of butter and 3 cups of water total, plus celery and potatoes. The family enjoyed it so much that I barely had any leftovers!

The fragrance of this baking in the oven is reminiscient of my teen years with my parents. "It tastes good," my daughter said. I substituted beef broth for the water. Yummy!
