Notes

Montreal Steak Seasoning is a McCormick brand. Great seasoning for beef of all kinds.

Soup can be made ahead and frozen without potatoes.  Add potatoes after soup has thawed to prevent mushy water soaked potatoes.

If you don’t want to bake Roast in oven, use a crock pot and cook roast overnight -8 hours, and proceed with recipe.
