Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon
I know once fall approaches, everyone starts to talk about their slow cookers. I love the convenience of a slow cooker meal pretty much any time of year but I know once the temps start to cool down and the days seem to get shorter, most of us would love to come home to the warm smell of comfort food already in our kitchens. Fall is the time of year that slow cookers start to get busy again.
The smell that develops from this Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon is intoxicating…the red wine combined with beef and vegetables just works its magic and can turn any busy evening into a gourmet meal.
I like to serve this Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon with creamy mashed potatoes made from Yukon Gold potatoes and simply seasoned with a little butter, sour cream, chives, salt and pepper.

2 pounds beef chuck shoulder pot roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
