Weeknight Beef Bourguignon
I adapted this recipe from TheKitchn.com, but made it even easier and quicker to pull together for the perfect Weeknight Beef Bourguignon. This is definitely a cool-weather comfort food recipe that your whole family will enjoy. I love to make a gravy with the liquids and then serve it over whole-grain noodles.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In your largest skillet, cook the bacon on medium heat until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and remove all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the pan. Crumble the cooked bacon into the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Sear the cubed beef for a few minutes on medium high until golden brown on the top and bottom. Add to the slow cooker on top of the bacon.
- Deglaze the pan by adding the wine and turning up the heat to high while scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Cook for a few minutes until reduced by half, then pour into the slow cooker.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil (or bacon grease if you have extra) to the pan and cook the veggies on medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add the veggies to the slow cooker along with the seasonings and broth and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Serve over whole-grain noodles and enjoy. --->For a real treat, make gravy with the liquid when it’s done cooking. That’s how it was done for the picture above!
