  • Garlic powder
  • Cajun seasoning
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Holy trinity mix onion, celery, bell pepper
  • Peeled garlic cloves
  • Golden potatoes

  • 1/2 sweet onion sliced
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter

  • 12 oz Heinz Savory Beef Gravy
  • 32 oz unsalted beef broth
  • 32 oz water
  • Tabasco hot sauce

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, drizzle olive oil. Season the roast and place seasoned side down to sear for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Flip, season the other side, and cook for another 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside. Cut slits in the roast and stuff with whole garlic cloves.
  • In the Dutch oven, add butter and the holy trinity mix (onion, celery, bell pepper). Cook until translucent. Stir in flour and a few drops of hot sauce, letting it combine for 2 minutes. Add beef gravy, broth, water, and remaining seasonings (except soup mix). Bring to a slight boil.
  • Add the roast back into the Dutch oven. Cover and place in the oven at 325°F. Cook for 2½ hours.
  • Add potatoes, carrots, sliced onions, and soup mix. Cover and let cook for an additional 3 hours until the meat is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
  • Serve the roast, vegetables, and gravy together. Enjoy!
