Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. 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.
  3. Pat the 4 lb pot roast dry with paper towels. Season generously on all sides with lemon pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  4. 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.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the can of cream of mushroom soup, chopped dill pickles, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to mix.
  6. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the browned roast in the Dutch oven.
  7. 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.
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. While the roast rests, skim any excess fat from the surface of the gravy in the pan.
  10. Crumble the reserved bacon and sprinkle it over the sliced roast. Serve with the warm mushroom-dill gravy.
