Pot roast is an American classic. When thinking about a recipe, we wanted something simple that we could set up in the morning and have ready by the time we’re home from work. To complement the meat, we knew we wanted to add a sauce, we just had to figure out what kind. In the end, we decided to use fresh mushrooms, along with some sour cream and the roast drippings to create a savory, complex flavor that goes perfectly with the protein. It can be hard to put together a filling, healthy dinner after a long day, so prepping this ahead of time and then only having to do the sauce right before dinner is such a breeze – totally worth the the work ahead of time!

- 2 1/2-3 pounds bottom round beef roast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- 1 onion, quartered
- 4 ribs celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup red wine, divided
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 pound assorted mushrooms, sliced
