While this dish may sound fancy, it is so very simple to make. The crockpot does all the work and dinner will be ready and waiting when you come home.

If you love beef stew, this is a delicious twist on a classic recipe. The burgundy wine or beef broth if you prefer gives the stew the best flavor. You might also like Mongolian Beef and Noodles Recipe or Crockpot Salisbury Steak.

The broth is amazing over the egg noodles and has such a rich flavor that leaves everyone asking for more! The entire family gobbles this up and it is always a hit.

I could make a meal out of that broth and a few rolls. It is that good. You are going to love the flavor and how easy this meal comes together. The next time you need an easy meal make slow cooker beef bourguignon.

What is Beef Burgundy?

You may have heard of Beef Burgundy, better known as beef bourguignon as being as a French beef stew made by Julia Child. Some beef burgundy recipes can be very complicated. Some even taking several hours to prepare and lots of different steps.

If you have been around long enough, you know that I am to lazy for a complicated recipe. That is why I love this recipe. It has simple ingredients and a simple process.

How Make Beef Burgundy in a Slow Cooker

Cubes of raw beef in a black Crock Pot for Beef Burgundy, surrounded by small bowls of flour, chopped onions, water, red wine, and beef broth on a dark countertop.

Step 1 โ€“ Place the beef cubes in the bottom of the crock pot.

A glass bowl with a mixture of soup, seasoning, and onions sits on a dark countertop, surrounded by raw beef for Crock Pot Beef Burgundy, dry egg noodles, cornstarch in a small bowl, a glass of water, and a metal whisk.

Step 2 โ€“ In a medium size bowl whisk together the mushroom soup, red wine, broth and onion soup mix. I like to add in bay leaves as well.

Step 3 โ€“ Pour over the beef.

Step 4 โ€“ Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the beef is tender then reduce heat. I bring to a simmer before serving.

  • Step 7 โ€“ Serve your beef and gravy over the noodles and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.

Variation Ideas

We love recipes that you can change ingredients to what you have at home. Here are some of our variations that we have tried and loved.

  • Add Worcestershire Sauce โ€“ Some people like to add a little Worcestershire sauce to the beef broth.
  • Crisp Bacon makes everything taste better โ€“ It is also really tasty to add bacon to a large skillet and add the brown bits and a small amount of bacon fat to the slow cooker.
  • Serve over Pasta โ€“ We use egg noodles but any type of pasta will do. We even liked the Frozen Reames Noodles.
  • Potatoes or Rice โ€“ You could even serve this over rice or mashed potatoes.
  • Add Vegetables โ€“ You can add in some pearl onions, tomatoes or tomato paste, carrots or broccoli to make it a complete meal.
  • Stir in Mushrooms โ€“ My sister loves to add mushrooms to this recipe.
  • Brown the Meat โ€“ Some recipes call to brown the beef, I just place in the crock pot uncooked. If you do brown on both sides before putting in the crock pot, place on a paper towel to drain the grease. It takes an extra 15 minutes to prepare the meat.
  • Make it Keto โ€“ If you are doing low carb or Keto, just eat the beef and omit the noodles or rice. It makes a really good keto meal.
  • Spices โ€“ For even more flavor add in fresh herbs or other seasoning. We recommend ยฝ tsp of fresh thyme, fresh parsley, black pepper, rosemary sprig and minced garlic cloves.

What to Serve with Crock Pot Beef Burgundy?

  • Make a Salad โ€“ This meal is amazing all by itself but a simple side salad goes well with it.
  • Add a Side of Vegetables โ€“ If you have a few extra minutes Delicious Roasted Green Beans are also tasty with this recipe.
  • Make some Bread โ€“ We also love this Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls Recipe with Beef Burgundy recipe. It is perfect to soak up every last drop of the delicious broth.

Yum! It is the best comfort food and with only a few ingredients itโ€™s just so easy to make. With 8 kids, there isnโ€™t much time for complicated recipes that call for a ton of ingredients and a lot of work.

How do you Thicken Crock Pot Beef Burgundy?

If you prefer that you gravy be a little thicker, you can mix 2 tablespoon of corn starch with 2 tablespoons of water and then pour into the crock pot. Stir together with the other ingedients.

Let ingredients simmer together for for about 30 minutes. Add a little more of the mixture and then repeat the process. If you prefer you can also use all purpose flour.

Storage and Reheating Tips

  • Storing โ€“ Store the leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. We think this beef burgundy is even better the next day.
  • Freezer โ€“ Place the cooled beef burgundy in the freezer safe container to freeze. It will stay fresh for up to 3 months. Once you are ready to serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat.
  • Reheating โ€“ We like to reheat on the stove in a sauce pan so that heats thoroughly. But you can also reheat in the microwave.

  1. Heather says:

    Question: what would you substitute for Cream of Mushroom?

    1. Carrie Barnard says:

      Any cream based soup would work. You can use cream of chicken soup or cream of celery.

  2. Rich says:

    You donโ€™t mention when to put the package of soup mix in. I assume you whisk it in with the wine and cans of soup?

    1. Carrie says:

      Yes, you mix in the soup mix with the mushroom soup and broth. I have updated the post.
