Fail Proof Roast and Gravy

about 2 lbs Beef or Pork Roast
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
1 can Cream of Celery Soup
1 envelope Brown Gravy
water

  1. Preheat oven to 350. place roast in a heave oven-safe pot with a lid. You can use any size or type of roast. The only things that changes is the cooking time.
  2. After the roast is in the pot, add just a bit of water (should be come about 1/2 inch up the side of the pot. I used about 1 cup. Then, salt and pepper the roast. Go easy on the salt because the salt in the gravy mix. In a small bowl, combine the two soups and the packet of gravy mix.
  3. After the soup and gravy are mixed together, pour the mixture over the top of the roast. Make sure the roast is completely cover with the mixture.
  4. Cover with a lid, and place in the oven for 2 hours or more to start. The roast should be fork tender when done so if you need to cook it longer, do it. The key is that it's done when it's fork tender so keep checking it once you pass the 2 hour point. Serve.
  5. You can cook it in a pot and cook on the stove, in a crock pot or a dutch oven.
