This old fashioned Rump Roast with Vegetables recipe reminded me of my Mother's Sunday dinner. Delicious! I will definitely be keeping this recipe!

Yummy! I absolutely LOVED the idea of putting the garlic directly in the meat. My mother used to do this with pork roasts and we'd always fight over who got how many pieces of garlic. I didn't use the hot sauce, but everything else was great!

Tweaks

I chopped the onion, celery and green pepper smaller and added them to the gravy to form a very tasty, chunky gravy. I also added a few more carrots and potatoes to feed more people.
