Pot Roast

Ingredients and Supplies:

• Dutch oven (cast iron works best)
• Salt and pepper to taste 
• 2 cloves of minced garlic 
• 1 onion
• 2 large carrots
• 2 tablespoons butter or non-dairy butter
• 1 yellow pepper 
• No Yolks Broad noodles (click here to find at a store near you)
• 1 package Recipe Secrets onion soup and dip mix 
• Jar of Bell’s Beef Gravy (click here to find at a store near you)
• Italian seasoning 

Directions:

1. Rub meat with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Add two tablespoons butter to pan. 
2. Set roast inside of Dutch Oven and braze meat on medium-high until all sides brown. Stay nearby because you don’t want it to burn!
3. After that, pour in Recipe Secrets onion recipe soup and dip mix packet and cover roast entirely with water. Bring to a boil then turn heat down and cover mostly with lid (leaving some room for air to escape). Simmer until roast is tender 2-3 hours (depending on size of roast) adding water little by little so that it does not all evaporate. 
4. After that, add vegetables – beginning with carrot and onion, yellow pepper, and cook on low until carrots are easy to poke with fork. 
5. Throw in as many no yolk broad noodles and cover and cook on medium-low until desired firmness (approximately 5 minutes).
6. Finally, mix in jar of gravy stirring occasionally on medium-low heat and top with Italian seasoning. Slice pot roast and serve in bowls. Enjoy for dinner as is or serve on toast and enjoy an open-faced sandwich at lunchtime.
