Remove the roast from the pan and wrap with bacon slices using wooden toothpicks to hold it in place. Return the roast to the pan and add all other ingredients. Cover and roast in a 350 degree F. preheated oven for 12 minutes per pound. Add more water if needed. Remove the cover 15 minutes before the roast is done and increase the temperature to 400 degrees F.
