I'm reluctant to eat bear but I always try something once and this turned out fab. A friend had given us a small bear roast which I sliced very thin and browned first, then removed so I could carmelize the onions then everything back into the pot and it simmered a few hours due to busy schedules. My girls don't like mushrooms but they enjoyed the meat and sauce. My hubby and I loved it and so did my husband's co-workers.
