Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the roast into the pot and brown it on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Once the roast is browned, transfer it to the center of a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
7
Pour both cans of Campbell’s Golden Mushroom soup evenly over the roast, and sprinkle the Lipton Onion Soup Mix over it.

Carefully seal the foil tightly around the roast, ensuring no steam escapes, then place the entire package into a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and easily shreddable.

After baking, remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before opening the foil. Serve the roast sliced, drizzled with the rich gravy for an unforgettable meal.
