Well, we got about one day of reprieve from the frigid winter here in Chicago and now we’re back to freezing rain and word on the streets is we’re getting snow tomorrow! Ugh, it’s not even February and I am OVER it! I chose this life though so what can I do other than continue to deliver easy, warm comforting recipes like this delicious Crockpot Beef-less Mushroom Bourguignon.
Beef Bourguignon is one of those classic, comforting recipes similar to a pot roast, it’s basically a beef stew and it’s delicious. My mom never made specially Beef Bourguignon, but she was phenomenal at making stews, my personal favorite growing up was lamb. But, alas, I no longer eat lamb so I had to make this with veggies and these Cremini mushrooms are a fantastic substitute.
I used Cremini mushrooms and cut them in half for this recipe so that they come out in big chunks and give a nice meaty feeling to the dish. This recipe is also full of herbs and it has my favorite ingredient, red wine which gives it a beautiful rich flavor.
I also put potatoes in this dish because potatoes in a slow cooker are one of my favorite things! First of all, it’s potatoes and they’re the best. But second of all, when you slow cook potatoes with butter and herbs, they really soak in all the delicious flavors of the stew and it’s just perfect!
All together this dish is everything you need in the winter. It’s filling, it’s warm, it’s flavorful and most importantly it’s incredibly easy and will cook while you’re at work! So for all my busy people out there, throw it in the crockpot, walk away and come home to a house that smells like thyme and butter. YUM!
Until Next Time,
Jackie

This looks delicious! My husband is a carnivore, but I don’t like to only eat meat and bread like he does. I’m putting this on my weekly menu. Thanks!
I’m so glad I could help Kristy! Thank you!
