Look what I found at the thrift store today! Thanks to @Elizabeth N. 's post from a while back, I knew what it was! Now I just need to figure out how to play with it!

Mine has birds and leaves and fish embossed all around. Looks like it's never even been used!! @Elizabeth N. - I honestly know more chicken and fish recipes than anything else. Any recommendations for beef cuts (for dummies) Thanks!! Can you tell I'm a little stoked to have found this little beauty today?

Pot roast! Rub your hunk-o-boneless-chuck (or another pot roast appropriate cut) with an envelope of onion soup mix and maybe also a tablespoon or so (half an envelope) of ranch dressing mix and plop it in the soaked pot. Surround the critter with big-cut onions, carrots, celery and (if you use them) potatoes.

Close the pot and stick it in a slow oven for 2-3 hours.

I found a website with recipes. The tandoori chicken looks yummy! http://www.romertopfdirect.com/Romertopf-Recipes/Chicken-Duck-Turkey/Tandoori-Chicken

Those were very popular in my youth (a long time ago!) Have they made a come-back?
