Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
In a large skillet, fry the bacon slices over medium heat until crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain. Reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet.
-
Pat the 4 lb pot roast dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper.
-
Heat the reserved bacon drippings in a large oven-safe Dutch oven or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pot roast on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
In a small bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup, chopped dill pickles, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to mix.
-
Pour the soup mixture evenly over the browned roast in the Dutch oven.
-
Cover the pot tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
-
Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
While the roast rests, skim any excess fat from the surface of the gravy in the pan.
-
Crumble the reserved bacon and sprinkle it over the sliced roast. Serve with the warm mushroom-dill gravy.
