Budget Beef Burgundy

This was a fast easy tasty meal. I did add onion and garlic to it. I love these easy meals after a long day of work. Thanks Boca Pat

Tried this tonight, turned out great. The amasing thing is that if you add cooked cubed potatoes, it makes the best beef and potato soup, move over campbells. I used 1 lb of meat because there is just the two of us, but used the rest of the ingredients as listed, which made a great soup.

We absolutely did not like this at all (in fact I threw my portion out) but I am giving it 3 stars because of the following: 1) I made in the crockpot instead of in the oven as directed, 2) I used only 1 lb. of beef but kept the other proportions the same, 3) I didn't have burgundy wine so I used the red that I had (a merlot), and 4) everyone else seems to love this so it is either that I screwed it up with my changes or that we just didn't care for it.

Can't get any easier than this and what a treat that the end result is so delicious and flavorful! I threw it all in the crockpot on low for about 7-8 hrs. and the meat was more than fork tender but held together beautifully. Served it over rice, since I didn't have any noodles on hand. Perfect for when you're rushing out the door in the morning with the minimal ingredients. Will make this one often!

This is a very easy dinner with nice flavor. I prepped the dish in the morning (before work), adding thin sliced rings of onion and sliced mushrooms with the beef to the sauce. When I got home, I popped it into the oven while I handled a few chores. We served it over egg noodles and (just as Merlot) added a green salad on the side. Hubby felt that the sauce was a bit salty, but that could be remedied by adding a bit of water or a little less onion soup mix. Minimum effort for a great meal...even on a busy day.
