Oven Bag Rump Roast

Dorel's Note:

This is one of my adopted recipes. This is suitable for any size roast just adjust the veggies for amount you want to serve. I didn't have new potatoes, I just halved regular Yukon God potatoes. I used an Oven Bag for this and roasted to 140°F and it came out nice and tender.

This is wonderful. I've always used an oven bag for rump roast, but the tomato gravy was a nice change. Didn't have tomato sauce, so I used 1 can of condensed tomato soup. Definitely a keeper!

I had to make a couple of changes due to lack of some items. I used a small can of tomato puree and diluted it with water to make the 14 oz. I didn't put the potatoes in the pan as I was making mashed taters. I also didn't have an oven bag, so I just covered the pan tightly with a layer of damp greaseproof paper and tin foil. The meat was delicious and tender. Cooked it for 3 hours at 160C/325F. Definitely a keeper!

Couldn't be any easier! Cleanup's a breeze.
