5 lbs. boneless roast that can be sliced (rump, bottom round, or eye)
2 pkgs. Good Seasons Italian Salad Dressing (the dry kind you mix - I use the mild)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 tbsp. basil
1 to 2 tbsp. dry red pepper
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 tbsp. salt
1 1/2 tbsp. oregano
Garlic buds to taste (this is fresh garlic)

Add all spices to 1 1/2 or 2 cups water. Mix spices in water and pour over meat. Cook at 325 degrees in covered pot for 35 minutes per pound. Cool and slice. Before serving, put back in broth and reheat. Serve on warm buns.
