I've heard of beef bourguignon often, but have never tried it. I recently found a recipe for it that's made in the crock pot and decided it was time to give it a try. It turned out really good, the beef was tender and fell apart, the veggies were tasty and it was all contained in a tasty broth. If you want to try it but don't want to watch over something on the stove all day, here's a recipe for you to try out.
Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
5 slices bacon
3 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 cup red wine*
2 cups chicken broth, separated
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons dried thyme
5 carrots, sliced
1 pound baby potatoes
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp and add to slow cooker. Salt and pepper the beef and add to skillet. Brown for about 2 minutes on each side and add to slow cooker.
Add wine to skillet, scraping in the browned bits on side of pan. Allow to simmer and reduce.
Stir in 1 cup of broth, tomato sauce and soy sauce.
Whisk together 1 cup of the broth with the flour, until smooth. Stir into sauce in skillet and allow to thicken slightly, then pour into slow cooker.
Add garlic, thyme, carrots, potatoes and mushrooms. Stir well and cook on low for 8 hours.
* Alcohol in the wine will cook out so this is safe for children. You can substitute broth for wine if desired.

Really yummy looking comfort food!
I like boeuf bourguignon. It’s a long time I had one, it’s perfect in a slow cooker!
I am not a red wine fan and do not like the taste it gives so I would use stock or white wine. This was a Julia Childs staple.

Thanks for sharing this recipe Mari. Comfort food at its best. Janie
That looks so good, Mari. Thanks for the recipe.
One of my favorite flavors and cooked in the crock pot is the only way to go.. I need to get some chuck and do this really soon. Thanks for the reminder. I sometimes get in a rut and forget about things I used to make.

My daughter in law made that for us once and she is a gourmet cook - it was delicious. It looked so hard. Yours is a great idea.
Thanks for this!! It sounds fancy but is so easy to do in the crock pot!! Yum! xo
Sure looks good.
That's a good idea to do it in a crockpot.
I bet that was very tasty. Sounds wonderful.
Another wonderful looking dish. I've never made this (I'm kinda beginning to think I am lazy in the cooking department). I'm sure impressed with all your cooking
I only made this one time in my Foods class in high school. They let us use a cooking wine. It’s a low grade wine with salt. It’s better to use real wine but for those on a budget, a cooking wine can be used - just leave out the salt in the recipe.
That sounds really good. I may give it a try.
I have always wanted to make this too and this way sounds perfect!! Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you for the recipe, I've only ever bought it ready made from a shop!
It's so good to share different recipes, and many thanks for sharing your recipe.
It's slightly different from the one Eddie and I used to enjoy quite regularly, which I give a link to

All the best Jan
This recipe looks delicious. Love your photo of the turkey. I saw a turkey here in Montreal a couple of weeks ago, on a college campus. They seem to be coming here as well, as last November I saw a turkey outside of a metro subway station. Happy Easter to you.
Looks really good!
I gotta save this one!
I never knew there was an easy way to make this dish! Sounds really good xoxo
