Beef Roast With Veggies

Derf's Note:

Easy, Quick and delicious!! Everything in one roaster, serve with a green salad and rolls. Change the veggies to your liking, be sure they are similar in size. Have sour cream and chives ready for the potatoes. Roast Beef Slather goes really well on this roast.

I made this with the Beef Slather suggested, and it just didn't do it for us! It was good, but I've had better! :O)

This recipe deserves every star possible and then some!! Excellent "slather" and the roasting instructions were perfect for a medium rare roast. Loved it very much!!

This was great! I omitted the bacon because I forgot to buy some while at the grocery store but will try it next time. The Slather was well worth it. I'd never heard of "slather" before and I won't make another roast without it again.
