Foil Pot Roast

Put the meat on a sheet of aluminum foil big enough to wrap it with. Sprinkle the onion soup mix on top of it, fold the foil, airtight, around it, put it in a baking pan (in case it springs a leak), and bake it at 300 degrees F for three hours or 200 degrees F for nine hours, it really doesn\'t matter. You can open it up if you like, an hour before it\'s done, and surround it with potatoes and carrots.

Swipe Steak: Which is the same thing except that you add a can of undiluted condensed mushroom soup in addition to the dry onion soup mix. All this adds up to good gravy when you unwrap it.

Swoop Steak: This time put the round steak in a Dutch oven or a similar heavy iron skillet with a lid. Put the dry onion soup mix on the meat, then pour 2 cups of Burgundy wine on top of it all, replace the lid, and cook the same way.

With any of these three steak recipes, you can add potatoes, carrots and celery - if you like, of course - for the last half hour if you\'re cooking at 300 degrees F; for the last hour if you\'re cooking at 200 degrees F.
