Beef Burgundy With Egg Noodles

This came from "Cooking Light, Weeknight one dish meals." My hubby and I appreciate something that tastes like you cooked all day in the kitchen. This is a crockpot delight! Make it a day or two ahead of time and simply re-heat and eat. A nice Chianti or Zin goes well with this meal. Yum-yum!
