Here is a good recipe for making a tender, tasty roast beef.  I copied it somewhere from the Internet, wish I knew who to give the credit to, but I don't.  
I have made this several times, always using a frozen roast, and it has turned out good every time.  It is a perfect way to cook a roast for Sunday dinner, just put it in the oven at about 8:00 or 8:30 AM and it is ready when you get home from church.
This is not written "recipe style" as it it mainly just directions, not a list of ingredients.

"My husband's favorite roast is done this way: I lay foil in a 9x13-inch pan, leaving enough overhang to fold and seal, lengthwise and crosswise, one layer each way. Spray the foil with nonstick spray, put the roast in (usually 3 to 4 pounds), sprinkle one envelope of McCormick's Beef Stew Seasoning Mix over the top of the roast, fold ends of the foil and seal (each one separately), place in 350-degree oven and cook for around 4 hours. It's juicy and tender every time. I cook a frozen roast this way, because my memory is so bad I never remember to take one out to thaw."

The juices make wonderful gravy, too.

Janice this sounds so good and very easy for those of us who forget to take stuff out of the freezer. Me too on that part.

I love roast but I don't fix it.  I will try this one!!!

Janice, that sounds so good!  I'm sure going to try this.

This really does sound good! ... agreat way for the working gals to have a nice meal ready when they get home from work too.

I can't recall if our stores have the stew mix, but a bit of onion soup ( the package stuff) would work.  I never use the full envelope., as I find it too salty.

another question, Janice....what cut of beef do you use?  I imagine a cheaper cut would do too, rather than, say, a rump, which is usually what I buy.

Last night I bought a roast and froze it, just so I could try this today.  Now I have to go to the store and get the stew seasoning mix.  The girls (daughter, grandaughter)are coming for dinner tonight, so this will be good.

I fixed the frozen roast yesterday and mine took around 6 hours.  I roasted potatoes, carrots, and halved onions in a separate pan, and all was ready together.  All I did was use meat drippings to make gravy and we were all happy.

 I used a pot roast, blade cut, but I think next time I might try a more expensive cut.  

Janice  The next time I do a frozen roast I will try doing it your way.    Sounds tasty can almost smell it now.

Trying to think of what to make for tomorrow night's supper, I thought I'd take a look into the kitchen site.

Janice's roast beef recipe sounds so good, and I happen to have one in the freezer....soooo, thats what we'll have.

BTW - Etta Sue., if you read this.... do you have an easy recipe for shortbread cookies.  I'm really late in starting to bake for Christmas.....is anyone else slow in getting their baking done too?

Judy ~ I have never made shortbread cookies.  But I understand there are some very good ones at most bakeries!!!!  

I think I will try this with my boys.  Something fun.  Did any one figure out what is the best roast.  I still have no clue.
