  1. This is one of our favorites, now. I make it at least once a month, and when I tell my husband what's for dinner, he gets very happy when he hears that it's this. I generally brown the roast in butter, use honey instead of sugar and omit the mushrooms. I also alternate the vegetables depending on what we are in the mood for. My favorite is to put the roast in a pan and then heap fingerling potatoes and root vegetables on top until the roast is completely covered. It turns out just beautifully, and it always a hit. I have printed this recipe out for friends looking for new and interesting dinners to try. Thanks JenniferK2!
     
  2. Loved the fact that you browned the roast in the bacon grease for extra flavor. I used a boneless pork loin to make this last night. Cabernet Sauvignon was the wine I used and I thought the flavor was very strong. I wonder if a person could half the wine and use half veggie broth. I did like this and will try again with the wine/broth change. Made for *1 2 3 Hit Wonders* game 2007
     
  3. This was a big hit with the family. My dh especially loved it - he's a big fan of mushrooms. I really enjoyed it although I don't love mushrooms and red wine with pork was a different taste combination for me. It was very tender and tasty. Thanks for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born in Chicago, IL and have lived in the area all my life. I love to cook and plan meals and always have. As a child I would watch Julia Childs on TV every day (she came on right after Mr. Rogers) and I have been interested in cooking ever since. Now that I have a family I enjoy the quick and easy recipes just as much as the more intricate ones. I didn't mind putting in the extra time and effort when I only cooked recreationally. I still like to do that sometimes, but for the day-to-day chore of cooking (and sometimes it is a chore) I like the option of fast and simple. I enjoy trying new recipes and sharing favorites of mine. I have found that sometimes the most unlikely sounding ones turn out to be the best! I try to always review the recipes I try because I know how much I enjoy getting that feedback myself. Even when it is not necessarily positive because sometimes suggestions help me tweak things and make them better!
