  • — Notes
  • The red wine gives this Bourguignon its lovely rich flavour. You can leave it out just use 1/2 a cup extra beef stock instead.
  • Red wine used Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Bread I use was Pane Di Casa.
  • If your slow cooker has sear mode do all the frypan steps in the slow cooker instead.

  1. My husband and myself thoroughly enjoyed this meal .great comfort food, very tasty and satisfying!

    Omg. This is full of flavour and just delish. Everyone couldn’t stop saying how good it is. Put on in morning and went out all day came home to house smelling Devine and dinner ready. Win win for this mumma

  3. This has to be one of the best tasting stew like meals that doesn’t require a ton of herbs and spices or sauces, I was honestly concerned that it would be bland but nope! Not only was it mouth watering but a house hold of 7 all polished plates and asked for it to be a permanent meal dish, I cut the mushies very fine as no one here likes them but I think between them and the wine bacon that’s where the flavour came from so I won’t skip that ingredient. My kids are aged 2 /11/11/13/14 plus myself and my partner. Delicious ?

  4. This was delicious and so full of flavour!! Didn’t change a thing, except to dice the potato’s into small sizes and put them in with about three hours to go. Makes a huge amount, so I turned the leftovers into individual pies in my pie maker. Can’t wait to make again !
