Good luck!  I remember my grandma making pot roast with cloves of garlic
embedded while it baked.  I loved the baked home grown carrots and
parsnips soaking up all that savory flavor.

Here's a recipe from Taste of Home's All American Recipes collection:

  For a special holiday side dish, I dressed up an old recipe to give
  it a little more Texas character. Everyone loved the savory flavor
  and crunchy pecans. --Joan Hallford, North Richland Hills, TX
  
  Preheat oven to 400?F. In a Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high
  heat. Add mushrooms and green onions; cook and stir until tender, 3
  to 5 minutes. Add rice and garlic; cook and stir 3 minutes. Stir in
  pecans, salt, thyme, pepper, and cumin. Add consomme and water; bring
  to a boil.
  
  Bake, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 1 to 1-1/4
  hours. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with bacon and, if desired,
  pecan halves.
