Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
This Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon is a classic French dish made easier. The meat, vegetables, mushrooms, and aromatics cook low and slow for hours in a mix of red wine, chicken broth, and tomato sauce to develop the signature deep and complex flavors. The dish is traditionally served with creamy mashed potatoes, but I’d go for a fresh pot of steamed rice.
Making this cozy meal takes a few extra steps, but each of them is fairly straightforward and well worth the effort. Once you cook the bacon and pan-sear the beef, deglaze the pan and prepare the sauce. Now, throw everything – bacon, beef, sauce, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, garlic, and fresh thyme if you have one – into your slow cooker and let it do its work. Hours later, you have the best-flavored stew that’s guaranteed to be a hit. Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh parsley. What a feast!
