Directions:
In a heavy pot, brown meat well in oil; avoid burning. Remove meat. Add bacon and onions; brown lightly. Return meat. Add rest of ingredients except flour and butter. Simmer slowly, turning at times, until tender, about 2-1/2 hours. Remove meat. Strain and remove fat from drippings. Cook about 3 Tbsp. flour and 2 Tbsp. butter until light brown. Add meat juices and cook to thicken; adding water if necessary. This pot roast is better if sliced and stored in gravy until the next day.
Serve with red cabbage, mashed potatoes, green beans and a cucumber salad.
