Vera Neal’s Sunday Pot Roast is built from just four ingredients: a 4- to 6-pound chuck roast, dry onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and quartered potatoes. The roast and potatoes are sealed tightly inside heavy-duty foil and baked for four hours.
It is a distinctly old-school oven-roast method—the foil packet traps the soup mixture around the meat and potatoes, creating a self-contained Sunday supper with almost no active cooking once it goes into the oven.
