This is one of my favourite ways to do a pot roast. I like that you just assemble and then toss in the oven until it’s done. It’s excellent with roasted potatoes. Grandma made this for my birthday.
Russian Brisket
4lb pot roast, I used a prime rib -just make sure you use something with a good marble
Put roast in roasting pan. Pour in water up to about 1 inch around meat.
Sprinkle around with onion soup mix, 3T brown sugar, and garlic powder to taste. Pour a 12oz bottle of chili sauce (like Heinz) over the roast. Cover tightly and roast for 2 1/2 hours at 350F. Uncover and continue to roast for 1 hour. If the sauce is too thick, thin with a bit of water.
