Pot Roasts and Mushrooms

Raibeaux said:

Hi.

When doing braised pot roasts (chuck), what do you folks think about adding mushrooms?

Do you think that they actually add much flavor into the mix? Do you think it's a good flavor? Bad flavor? Unnecessary?

Or do you think everything else just adds to the flavor of the mushrooms?

Odd question, I know.

A pot roast, to me, is using a casserole dish or roasting pan, adding carrots, onions and potatoes, and baking/roasting at about 350. Mushrooms are like little sponges and will absorb the flavors of other ingredients & become limp. Here is a general description of same.

If you want to add mushrooms in a pot roast dish, you might consider adding them at the end of whatever process you are using.

Your call.
