Do you have a crock pot? This is super easy and tastes like 5 star.
pork or beef roast 2-3lb
1 can cranberry sauce (you wont taste it, I swear)
1 packet dry onion soup mix
I add mushrooms and a bit of diced onions too but not needed.
Cook for 8 hours on low.
Serve pork with potatoes, and use the sauce as gravy (mix about a tablespoon of flour into the sauce after removing meat, turn on high for about 20 minutes)
Serve beef over egg noodles (SUPER easy to cook)
I guess you could probably do this in the oven on low heat, but crock pots are SO easy and take no work. I think I spend maybe 15 minutes in the kitchen and only have to wash one pot and maybe a plate.
