Mushroom Bourguignon with Mashed Potatoes (+ Vegan Option)

Mushroom Bourguignon became an instant favorite the first time it landed on our dinner table. Mushrooms are umami powerhouses, and this dish retains all the wonderful, comforting properties of Boeuf Bourguigon, but with a bit of a lighter touch. Includes easy vegan and gluten-free options.
