Hey everyone! I’m excited to share my ultimate cozy winter go-to—Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon! Don’t let the fancy name intimidate you; it’s basically a rich, hearty beef stew that’s pure comfort in a bowl.
Why I’m Hooked on This Stew
I never thought a beef stew could win me over like this one! The beef becomes incredibly tender, practically melting on your tongue, and the thick, savory sauce is absolutely irresistible. Add in those big, chunky veggies, and you’ve got a meal that’s both satisfying and soul-warming.
I love making this on chilly weekends because:
-
The slow cooker does all the heavy lifting
-
The house fills with the most amazing aroma all day
-
It’s perfect for snuggling up indoors
-
Leftovers taste even better the next day!
What Makes It So Delicious?
This isn’t your everyday stew—it’s a “bourguignon,” which means it’s simmered in red wine (don’t worry, the alcohol cooks off). The wine tenderizes the meat and adds a deep, complex flavor you just can’t get any other way.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
-
Bacon slices (for that smoky touch)
-
Chuck roast, cut into large chunks (or ask your butcher)
-
Red wine (no need for anything fancy, just a decent cooking wine)
-
Broth (chicken or beef)
-
Plain canned tomato sauce
-
Soy sauce (boosts richness)
-
Flour (to thicken the sauce)
-
Fresh garlic (or dried if that’s what you have)
-
Thyme (fresh or dried)
-
Vegetables: chunky carrots, baby potatoes, mushrooms
