Crock Pot Beef Bourguignon

Lvs2Cook's Note:

I've been making this for years and years. It's one of those never fail to please recipes. The recipe originally came from the little book of recipes that came with my first crock pot. I often buy and use beef that is already cubed to save a little time. I also by a jar of small onions and add that instead of the fresh.

Yum yum! Very easy to make and super tasty. My parents live in France and this tastes just as good as a beef bourginon that you would get in a restaurant over there! Thanks a million!

This is another recipe I would love to give more stars. Comfort food at its best. I made some small changes, first I only used 1.5 pounds of beef and keep everything else the same I wanted a little bit more gravy because I was serving this dish with garlic mashed potatoes. Also instead of just slicing the onion I cut them small diced. I used fresh thyme, just a small sprig. Overall the gravy had a ton of flavor and was very good over the mashed potatoes. This is a keeper thanks for posting,
