Love this recipe! I used venison and omitted the bacon and even my young kids gobbled it up with some whipped potatoes. Thank you for sharing!!!

So yummy! I made this as directed but added more onions and mushrooms - I love them. This was so simple and I loved that it went into the oven. The red wine was wonderful in this and the mushrooms really soaked up that flavor. I will double the sauce next time to pour over mashed potatoes. Thanks Lori for sharing such a nice keeper.

There is a lot of flavor to this not so fancy cut of meat!! Made with beef stock instead of chicken stock, but otherwise made as written. I did cut back a little on the mushrooms since DH does not like them. Will be making this again and may double the sauce ingredients to have some to pour over mashed potatoes. Made for Photo Tag.
