This was wonderful! My family really enjoyed this dish. Only thing different I did was add a can of mushrooms (drained) as I did not have fresh and when making the gravy I added a can of beef broth as it was to thick for my liking. Will make this again! Plan on trying the recipie with beef roast next time.
