Hi Stephen:

Crimini mushrooms are the same as small brown mushrooms. Any small brown mushroom from your grocery store will work. Most major grocery store chains carry fire roasted tomatoes in the canned tomato section. Muir Glen makes them, as do a number of other major brands. You can substitute canned tomatoes if you cannot find fire roasted ones. Red pepper flakes are dried and are in the spice section of major grocery store chains. Just ask your grocer for help. I bet all three items are at your neighborhood market.

Good luck.

Dear Richard:
I hope you make the recipe, and let me know how you like it once you’ve made it. Thanks for the kind words. Despite the fact that this recipe deviates from Julia’s, I must admit – I have a total soft spot in my heart for her. We used to see her grocery shopping in her later years in Santa Barbara and our hearts always skipped a beat.
Best to you,
Rachel

That is a lovely slow cooker beef recipe. I like the colors and the fact that it’s not just another adaptation of Julia’s recipe! I also like the choice of the fingerlings instead of regular wedged potatoes. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I am going to have to make this one!
