Slow-Simmered Italian-Style Pot Roast with Mushrooms

This delicious dish is pure comfort food–perfect for a winter weekend dinner when the weather is cold and warmth is needed. Add a little cooked and diced pancetta or bacon to the sauce for a bourguignon-like flavour. Served here with egg noodles, pappardelle or tagliatelle, you could substitute with mashed potatoes or creamy polenta, or simply with crusty bread.
