Beginners Pot Roast

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 450°F.
2. 2
   Place 1/4 of the onion on the bottom of the pan. If you do no have roasting pan you can use a cake pan, you will need to use foil to make a tent.
3. 3
   Trim excess fat from the meat. Salt and pepper generously both sides. If you use the Worcestershire sauce cut back on the salt.
4. 4
   Place the roast in the pan, add water and the remaining onions. Make sure to have onions on top of the roast.
5. 5
   Cover and put in the oven for about an hour.
6. 6
   Then lower the temp to 350°F for another 1-1 1/2 hours depending on how rare or cooked you want you meat.

    Garlic.

    Over the years I have made this with a frozen roast and only had to cut back the water and add about another hour or so to the cooking time.
