Beef Roast Dinner

By Addie

Because this healthy dish is slow cooked, you can use less-expensive roasts with results as mouthwatering as the more costly cuts. Change up the veggies for variety, nutrition or to suit your tastes!—Sandra Dudley, Bemidji, Minnesota

REVIEWS:

Just the right amount of oregano. This makes the toughest, cheapest cut of beef fall apart. You could even use a steer's hoofs and it would melt in your mouth.

Too much oregano and I did by a cheaper meat-rump, it was not tender.

Very good recipe. I tweeked it just a little with more potatoes and carrots, and a splash of worcestershire sauce. This is a keeper.

I made this for dinner last night and it was great! Only two of us in the family! We are having leftovers tonight! Excellent recipe and fun to make!

This recipe was so good even the kids loved it. It was so easy to make. We will be making it again. Perfect for a day that you dont have time to make dinner.

This recipe is very easy to make and turns out incredibly delicious. My entire family waits for it when they know I'm making it, and helps me get through the cooking part. This recipe is a keeper, for sure.
