#383 - Beef Roast

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 1/2 lb. sirloin tip roast (minimum)
5 large red potatoes (quartered and washed, but NOT peeled)
4 long pieces of celery from a stalk (cut into 1" pieces)
1 lb. baby carrots
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
1 - 14oz. can peeled whole tomatoes (slice in thirds and reserve the juice)
water
1 Reynolds oven bag -- (plastic)-- large size

Use a baking dish large enough to hold roast and other ingredients. Spray the inside of the cooking bag with Pam. Put the roast in the center of the bag, then arrange potatoes, celery and carrots around the roast. Sprinkle the onion soup mix over the top of the roast. Place the sliced tomatoes on top of the roast. Pour the tomato juice in a bowl, then fill the tomato can with water and add to juice and stir. Pour the liquid over the vegetables. Shut the bag with the provided twister and use a knife to poke holes in the top of the bag. Bake at 350 degrees for 3 hours or until meat and potatoes are tender.
