Since the weather has gotten a little chilly, at least in the mornings and evenings, so I thought I'd break out the "fall" foods.
This was sooooo good! The meat was very tender and the flavor had a great depth to it, excellent recipe! I served it over egg noodles for T and the kids, and buttermilk mashed potatoes for me, yum! :lick:

"The tomatoes cook so long in the liquid that they soften to the point
of falling apart, adding flavor and body to the braise. The long
cooking time also makes the beef very tender."
