How to Make Boeuf Bourguignonne Beef Burgundy Crock Pot Or Not

Fry 6 slices (approximately 1/2 pound) bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In the bacon grease, brown 2 pounds beef stew meat in batches. Season with salt and pepper as you brown.
Transfer browned beef to your slow cooker or a large oven-safe dish.
In the same pan, brown 1 medium carrot (sliced) and 1 small onion (sliced).
Add 3 teaspoons flour to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. (For a thicker gravy in the oven method, make a roux using 3 tbsp flour and 3 tbsp butter)
Stir in 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can condensed beef broth.
Mix well and pour into the slow cooker or oven dish with the beef.
Add the reserved bacon, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, 1 bay leaf, and 1/2 cup pearl onions to the pot.
**Slow Cooker:** Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours. **Oven:** Cover and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 3-4 hours.
While the stew cooks (during the last hour), sauté 8 ounces sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons butter. Add mushrooms and 1 cup red wine to the slow cooker or oven dish. Continue cooking for another hour.
Serve this hearty stew over creamy mashed potatoes for the ultimate comfort food experience.
