Eye of Round Roast on the Grill:

Cut fat off the meat

Season meat with garlic, salt and sprinkle heavily with cracked pepper. Press the seasonings onto the meat and sear in a pan. Put pan in the oven and cook for 30 min or you cook it on the grill for 8-10 minutes in direct heat and another 30 minutes in indirect heat.

This allows you to make it in the winter or summer times.

Delicious Eye of Round Roast

Par boil potatoes while you prepare the following (par boil means cooking potatoes half way).

Make a paste of a flat leaf parsley, fresh garlic, salt, lemon zest, olive oil and thyme.

Pack the paste and pack it on top of the roast. Surround the roast with par boiled potatoes. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes on 400 degrees.

Serve with a vegetable of your choice.

Main Dish - Beef

Very easy recipe that will taste like you slaved over it. Just plop it in, pour, pour, throw it in the oven and leave it.

Beef Brisket

Prep time: 1 minute to make, 10 minutes to slice and defat.

- 4 to 5 pound beef brisket - first cut if available

- 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce

- 1 12-ounce jar of Heinz Chili sauce

- Sliced Onion - Optional

- Peeled and quartered potatoes - Optional

Put the brisket in a roasting pan.

Pour the can of whole berry cranberry sauce on top of the brisket, then pour the bottle of Chili Sauce on top.

Cover with tin foil and cook for 3-4 hours at 350 degrees.

Refrigerate over night.

The next day, skim the fat from the gravy. Thinly slice the brisket (I use an electric knife), and place back in roasting pan, covering the meat with the sauce.

Re-cover and reheat at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Keep warm until serving with either the cooked potatoes or mashed potatoes. The meat will be very tender.

If you use a tin foil roasting pan, there's no clean up either - great for bringing to a host's house for a holiday dinner, but make 2 so you can have your own!.

All the recipes sound delicious!! Thank you everyone!I will get HeavyE to tell me what some of his favorites are and put them on here!

Thank you! Thank you!

I didn't read through the thread first, but I have a yummy Sausage Gravy recipe that was handed down to me by my late FIL bless his heart...

This is a breakfast/brunch recipe, but I'll admit to making it for dinner in a pinch.

PaPa Jim's Sausage Gravy

1 roll Italian Sausage (I use Bob Evans original)

1/2 stick butter or margarine

1/8 to 1/4 cup flour

1 can evaporated milk

Salt Pepper to taste

1. Brown sausage, set aside

2. Melt margarine in a saucepan. Add flour and stir constantly till thickened.

3. Add can of milk and stir over medium heat till it starts to thicken.

4. Add cooked sausage (I don't drain mine, but you may want to)

5. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently.

6. Add salt/pepper till it tastes the way you like it.

Cook until thick. Keep stirring. You may have to add a little extra milk to lighten it up (regular milk is ok).

Spoon over bisquits and enjoy.

This isn't the most healthy recipe but it is delish..!
