For the Love of Food: Pot Roast Foil Packs
First, let’s take a look at our beautiful dish. It’s not only easy to prepare but also creates minimal cleanup – a win-win!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds of chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
- Aluminum foil
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a large piece of aluminum foil, lay down a generous amount of the diced potatoes and carrots. This will act as the base for your pot roast.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chuck roast pieces, chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Place a portion of the beef mixture on top of the vegetables in the foil, then fold the foil into a packet, ensuring it’s tightly sealed to keep all the flavors inside.
- Place the foil packets on the grill or in the oven. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Once done, carefully open the foil packets, as steam will escape. Garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary, if desired, and enjoy your meal!
