Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon

Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon combines well-browned chuck roast, crispy bacon, mushrooms, carrots, pearl onions, herbs, and red wine in a rich beef broth base, slowly cooked until tender. The dish features deep savory flavors and a thickened sauce thanks to a butter and flour mixture added near the end. The slow cooking tenderizes the meat and allows the flavors to meld, creating a hearty stew with a balanced texture from tender vegetables and mushrooms.
