Sunday Roast Beef

My mom used to serve this what seems like nearly every Sunday!  I hadn't made it for a long time, and it sounded good for winter, so I hope you will enjoy it, too.  Of course, it's quite simple but hits the spot on a cold night.

1 beef roast
1 envelope onion soup mix
1 medium onion, sliced
several carrots, sliced

Place beef in roasting dish.  Jab roast with knife throughout to allow flavors to penetrate.  Sprinkle half of the soup packet on meat.  Add about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water to pan.  Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 1 1/2 hours.  Remove and add sliced vegetables and remaining soup mix.  Bake another 2 hours.

*You can also add the vegetables at the beginning.  I just like them to be more firm.  Also, I like to put potatoes in, too, but apparently they don't freeze well.  I bought a more expensive cut of meat, so I'd already gone over the budget or I would have included some potatoes for you.  Hopefully most of you have them on hand if you want to add them.
