mushrooms.

4. Cover with a layer of half the remaining beef and sprinkle with
more salt and pepper.

5. Add the remaining onions, garlic, shallots and mushrooms and cover
with a final layer of the remaining beef. Top with the second slice
of fatback.

6. Pour the burgundy and cognac over all.

8. Place the casserole over high heat and, when it begins to simmer,
cover and lower the heat. Cook 3 1/2 hours.

While the casserole is cooking the liquid should barely bubble.
