Now that sounds so Gooooooooood. As Andy would say!

I have a cooking question.

I have some fresh button mushrooms that I want to add to a chuck/pot roast that I will be cooking tomorrow.

Here is how I do my pot roast normally. I season with salt and pepper and cut holes and insert toes(?) of garlic. Then pan sear both sides. Place in an oven proof dish and add just about 1/2 cup of beef stock. Cover tightly with foil and set in a 350 oven for at least an hour.

Remove from oven and add rough chopped onions and carrots cut about 2 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick. I let this cook another 2 hours or so. Adding more beef stock if needed. Now if I am going to add potatoes they go in last and I cook the whole roast for another hour or more depending on doneness of potatoes.

Now the question. At what point would you add the fresh mushrooms? They will be sliced.

No more than 30 minutes before you believe you will pulling the roast out of the oven. My personal preference would be for the last 15 minutes and then let them sit with the other veggies while the meat is resting and before serving.
