CROCK POT BEEF BURGANDY

I came across this recipe and it looked really good. So I started off trying to follow the recipe word for word but that didn’t work well for me. So here is my version of the recipe. By the way it turned out wonderful. The ribs got a lot of flavor from the red wine and gravy mixes and I got to finish off the rest of the wine. That’s always a plus for me. I served them with baked potatoes, corn on the cob, and biscuits for sopping up the delicious gravy. Now normally I don’t brown the meat before putting it into the pot but this time I did. I have been told that by browning the meat it keeps more of the flavor in which it probably does but I kind of get in a hurry and skip that part. I don’t think it makes that much difference. But I thought I should at least give it try. Next time I will probably just drop them in the pot and go. I believe in the quick and easy version and one pot meals. I didn’t think about it the, but I could have laid down a layer of parchment paper on top of the beef and put in my potatoes and corn wrapped in foil. I guess I was just thinking about finishing the wine up. This was too easy and to good not to have it in my dinner rotation. You can also add mushrooms, pearl onions, or baby carrots. I have also heard of substituting beer for the red wine is good too. So give it a try. It takes about 10 minutes of prep time but you can come home from a day of work or shopping with a wonderfully warm and delicious dinner waiting for you. I would suggest saving the extra wine for dinner if you’re going to work.    

 

Ooops! Forgot the ribs!
