Ingredients
Instructions
- Rub all sides of the meat with A-1 sauce.
- Place the meat in a roasting pan lined with heavy-duty foil.
- Ensure the foil is large enough to seal around the roast.
- Sprinkle French onion soup mix over the meat.
- Add carrots, onions, and potatoes around the meat.
- Spoon cream of mushroom soup over all the vegetables and meat.
- Seal the foil tightly around the roast.
- Bake at 350°F until the meat is tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful roast, consider marinating the meat in A-1 sauce overnight. If you don't have French onion soup mix, onion powder and dried herbs can be used as a substitute. For added depth, try adding garlic cloves or bell peppers to the mix. Adjust the vegetable quantities based on personal preference; root vegetables are great alternatives.
Serving Suggestions
This Super Roast pairs beautifully with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh garden salad. For a complete meal, consider serving it with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices. Leftover roast works well in sandwiches or can be used in dishes like Meat Potato Pie for a hearty second meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To reheat, place the roast and vegetables in a covered dish and warm in the oven at 325°F until heated through, ensuring the meat remains moist by adding a splash of broth if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of soup instead of cream of mushroom?
Yes, you can substitute with cream of chicken soup or even a cheese sauce for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the consistency matches the cream of mushroom for best results.
How long should I cook the roast?
Cooking time can vary based on the size and cut of the roast, typically about 20 minutes per pound at 350°F. Use a meat thermometer to check for the appropriate internal temperature: 145°F for medium-rare beef and 145°F for pork.
What vegetables can I add to the roast?
Feel free to customize your vegetable selection! Root vegetables like parsnips or sweet potatoes can add sweetness, while green beans or bell peppers can give a fresh crunch. Just keep the cooking times in mind to ensure everything is tender.
