This was very easy. I must confess my husband and son enjoyed it more than me (although I ate my share LOL). I cooked it covered, and feel it would definitely have dried out had I done otherwise. I also found the remaining gravy very salty and toned it down with about 1-1/2 cups water. It was still thick enough. Next time I will add water to the original liquid and use a blade or cross-rib roast instead of the more pricey sirloin tip. BTW, this smells divine as it cooks!

I will admit that the combination of the ingredients for this recipe made me a skeptic. However, I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious and tender this roast was. It melted in my mouth and I received many compliments from my family who enjoyed it as much as I did. I highly recommend this recipe!

This is excellent! I have made this several times now and am now doubling the gravy because my big family gobbles it all up and I don't have any for work the next day! I was initially apprehensive because The ingredients look a little "processed" but, it turns out GREAT! A tender delicious roast with smooth, flavorful gravy. I am going to try this in the crock pot as i'm busy during the day . I will keep you all posted. 5+++ STARS, Thanks Kelly! This works great in the crock pot too. I just mix it all together and let it cook on low 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4. It falls apart and melts in your mouth. takes less than 20 minutes!!

This did not turn out well for me. I calculated the cooking time as instructed. The gravy was stuck to the bottom of the roasting pan, a crust formed on the roast, and the meat was moderately dry. I think this would have turned out better if I had covered the roast with foil before cooking. In the directions, there was no mention of whether to cover or leave uncovered, so I left it uncovered. Actually, I think this is better suited for crock-pot cooking. Oh well, live and learn.

I wasn't at all concerned about the ingredients. I have used Wishbone Italian forever, mixed with worchestershire to marinate steaks in. I never even thought of using for a roast. Yes, the gravey is FANTASTIC!!! Very Good!!!

Well, it certainly pays to try the highest rated recipes around this joint. This was really nice for such a simple, easy and inexpensive recipe. I only had a London Broil on hand - it rocked, surprisingly! I didn't add carrots and made mashed taters separately. The only thing I'd change from the remaining ingredients is maybe use a little less Italian dressing as it was slightly to tangy for our tastes. But it's going in my personal cookbook binder of favorites and I thank you!

Well, this recipe certainly doesn't need my 2 cents, but I'm going to rate it anyway! I think this was the best roast I have ever made, although I did make a few changes. I had bought a 3# chuck roast, and only used 1 can of gravy and about 1/4 cup of the Italian dressing. Used all of the onion soup mix and a 4oz can of sliced mushrooms (undrained). DH is not a gravy eater, and there was still plenty of liquid. I put everything in my 6qt Nesco roaster around noon, and by the time I got home at 6pm the meat was literally falling apart. Next time I will use a sirloin tip or rump roast as suggested — the chuck had quite a bit of fat, but the flavor of the meat was outstanding. Thanks for a delicious recipe Kelly! -M

I highly recommend this recipe! It was the best beef roast I have ever had! I too agree that the mixture of ingredients made me wonder, but the out come left my family and I agreeing that the roast and gravy taste truly delicious. This recipe makes plenty of gravy to have over mashed potatoes. Wonderful!
