Submitted by Jay Grush

"Something to cook on a five- to six-hour car trip. This is not my creation. It appeared in the Baton Rouge Morning Advocate newspaper and I believe it was taken from a published cookbook. "

2. Season with dry Good Seasons Salad Dressing mix or dry mushroom soup, salt and pepper or any way you season a roast before roasting.
3. Double or triple wrap in heavy-duty aluminum foil, crimping on sides so liquid will not leak when you turn the roast. Place on or against the flat part of exhaust manifold or against hot part of engine block.
4. Drive five to six hours.
5. Turn once halfway to destination.
