Slim and Saucy Pot Roast

Another family favorite. This was actually a Weight Watcher's recipe that Grandma (Glennys) used to make. Dad and Josh in particular liked this way to cook pot roast ... the fact that it's lower in calories is just a bonus!

Slim and Saucy Pot Roast

3 pound Beef Pot Roast (trim fat)

1/8 tsp. Pepper

2 medium Onions, sliced

1 can Cheddar Cheese soup

1 large can Tomato Sauce

1 – 2 cans Mushroom pieces (undrained)

¼ tsp. Oregano

¼ tsp. Basil

Place pot roast in a non-stick roasting pan and roast it, uncovered, in a pre-heated 475° oven just til the meat is browned (about 30 – 40 minutes) Pour off fat. Lower oven temperature to 325°.

Season meat with pepper and mix together remaining ingredients. Pour over top of meat and cover tightly. Roast for another 2 ½ hours or until tender. Slice thinly and serve with sauce from pan.
