- Place the meat, potato, chopped onion, frozen peas, Gravy Master, catsup, and butter on a 10 x 12-inch piece of aluminum foil.
- Seal the foil tightly to enclose all ingredients.
- Place the foil packet in a preheated 350°F oven or closed grill and cook for 45 minutes, turning at least once.
- Remove from heat and eat with a spoon or pour off the juices and eat with fingers.
- Can be prepared and frozen ahead for camping or sailing; store in a cooler and cook when ready.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful pot roast, marinate the London broil in your favorite seasonings before cooking. If you don't have Gravy Master, soy sauce can be a good substitute. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots or bell peppers, for extra nutrition. Consider using sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a twist on the classic flavor.
Serving Suggestions
This individual pot roast is perfect for a casual meal and can be served directly from the foil for a rustic touch. Pair it with a side salad or some crusty bread to soak up the juices. It also complements well with a warm bowl of soup. For dessert, consider serving alongside a slice of Apple Pie(Sugar-Free) for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the foil packet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave the contents in a bowl, covered, for about 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
