Nikkis Never-Fail Roast Beef Recipe

Here it is, my Never-Fail Roast Beef recipe!
1 (3-4 lb.) beef roast (boneless is best)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can water
1 env. Lipton onion soup mix
Cut of carrots (NOT baby carrots) & potatoes

Rinse beef roast and place in Corningware dish. Mix cream of mushroom soup (straight from the can) with Lipton soup mix (dry), and water, heat slightly to blend together. Pour over roast. Do not add other liquids. Add your vegetables. Cover with lid and cook at 300 degrees until tender, approximately 3 hours. Turning meat once helps improve flavor of meat. If gravy thickens too fast, add a little liquid at this time.

Cucumber Lemon Water - YUM!

I ADORE this recipe! Any excuse to drink more H2O is always good!!

Cucumber Lemon Water

1/2 Cucumber, peeled and sliced thin
1/4 Lemon, sliced thin
Filtered water (or any water)

Place the cucumber and lemon in a large pitcher (I use a Rubbermaid Storage Pitcher when not entertaining). Fill with water. Let sit for an hour or two and serve over ice. I usually refill the container two to three times before discarding the cucumber and lemon. This mix looks gorgeous in a glass pitcher, so classy!
