This is a great meal, I have been making it since the Frugal Gourmet was on my local PBS station in the late eighties. Everyone loves it.

I have been making this recipe for years. It's my family's absolute favorite pot roast recipe! After a few years, I changed the dried mushrooms to sliced white mushrooms and add them closer to the end of cooking. This recipe is easy and so delicious! I serve it with mashed potatoes and use the creamy sauce like gravy.
