Try This Mushroom Pot Roast For Your Next Family Dinner 

For this dish, you need pot roast trimmed of any fat, plus olive oil, onions, ketchup, apple cider, garlic, dry mustard, dried marjoram, dried rosemary, dried thyme, whole bay leaf, mushrooms, flour, and egg noodles.

If you need to substitute some of the ingredients, try using things like pork, chicken, red onions, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar, regular mustard, allspice, cumin, paprika, red bell peppers, cornstarch, and rice. You can also switch the apple cider with a little red wine or a dark ale beer.

To begin, you will want to dust your pot roast with flour. This is key so that the meat becomes juicier and absorbs the sauce. You will need to cook everything over low heat for a while, so be sure to pick a big enough pot.

For freshness, add the mushrooms last, as they can turn slimy and shrink too much if cooked for too long. You can also make your pot roast more filling by adding potatoes, carrots, celery, peas, sweet potatoes, and shallots.

You can also plan and save your pot roast for a later time. Simply store it safely in a freezer container without the egg noodles. For warming up, thaw it in the fridge overnight, and warm up on the stove. Sprinkle some fresh parsley over the dish as well and if you feel like an extra kick, add some cayenne pepper.

Serve warm over the egg noodles, add a piece of baguette bread, and enjoy a glass of red wine!
