SLOW COOKER BEEF BURGUNDY

6 pieces bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces

3 lb. beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2" cubes

6 carrots, sliced into 1/2" pieces

1 med. onion, sliced

3 tbsp. flour

1 (10 oz.) can condensed beef consomme or 10 oz. water & 2 beef cubes

1 c. red wine

1 c. tomato juice

1/8 tsp. minced garlic

1 tsp. thyme

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. sugar

1 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced & thick pieces

Cook bacon in a skillet until fairly crisp. Remove the bacon but leave enough bacon grease to brown the meat. Brown the beef cubes in the bacon grease and place in slow cooker. Brown the carrots and onions in bacon grease and add to slow cooker. If you do not have enough drippings left, you may have to add butter. Add the flour to this. Then add the consomme, wine, tomato juice and seasonings.

Mix this well and heat it in the skillet. Then add this mixture and the bacon pieces to the items in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours. About 1 hour before serving, saute the sliced mushrooms in about 1 tablespoon of butter and add them to the mixture in the slow cooker. Serve over egg noodles or rice.

That sounds great!! For a little different flavor, use Marsala wine. Also, this recipe would work for lamb.

I would use Burgandy wine or a Merlot. Also if you want to make it a little richer instead of tomato juice use a TBS of tomato paste dissolved in a cup of water. And I finally figured out if I didn't have consomme on hand a can of beef broth simmered with a bay leaf and a shot of worchestershire sauce and garlic powder will work just fine. I find the chuck works great although the classic version calls for round or sirloin I think.

My wife buys a leg of lamb at Publix often. They sometimes offer a boneless leg for a little more. Regardless, we do not like much lamb fat in a recipe, so she takes it off the bone and removes almost all fat. Cubes it, browns it, and from there it becomes Lamb Ragout (last night with mashed taters) or Lamb Marsala with green onions, etc,,,.

OK. I'm looking for racks to make medallions with. Foodland in Dadeville has a case off Leg of Lamb in the back. Actually someone else ordered it and uses them and I've gotten a few.
When I heal up more I will get back to making sausage and hot dogs. I do use sheep skin for my casings. Just ordered some franks and variety packs from Ottos in Seattle (I think).

Anyone from Birmingham who knows where I can get Lamb. I have 2 to 8 days per month up there.

Thanks, Don
