I have to admit, this recipe made me nervous not being able to open the door and check the temperature. We were amazed when we cut into the roast and it was perfect! The best roast I've ever made. Thanks to Thelma!

I used a cross rib roast and it came out so tender. Just wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe.
