This Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon recipe is pure comfort food.  It’s one of the best slow cooker recipes of all time.  

Now that fall is upon us, I crave rich hearty dinners.  My all time favorite is Julia Child’s Beef Bourguignon.  It’s rich, flavorful and hearty but it takes all day to make.

I knew there had to be an easier way so I combined this easy slow slow cooker beef stew recipe with Julia’s masterpiece and came up with this Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon recipe.

The result was pure comfort food perfection!  The sauce was rich and thick.  The meat was tender and juicy.  And, the vegetables basically melted in your mouth.  This recipe is definitely a keeper!
