I loved this roast! So delicious....I've never used tomatoes in a roast and they really added something extra. Served with mashed potatoes as suggested. Thanks for sharing! Made for ZWT8.

Made for my 17 yo's going away to college dinner and she just loved it. So keeping with the educational theme, here's a Science Fact: The king of England invented the napkin. Well okay, maybe it was the handkerchief, but this is a cooking site. Made for ZWT#8~Great Britain.
