A go-to comfort food that is bound to impress anyone with its rich flavors and tender, fall off the bone meat. Best served over mashed potatoes with a side of roasted vegetables or sauteed spinach. The leftover sauce is perfect over egg noodles, and can be frozen for use at a later date. This recipe will also go well with any cut of beef that is meant to be slow-cooked (Chuck, Shoulder, Round, etc.).
