Any Ideas For A Beef Bourguignon In A Slow Cooker

[Bobbisox1]

I'd like to do this with cream potatoes as a main course when we go to a log cabin for my sister in laws birthday in 4 weeks time,
I was thinking
Broccoli and Stilton soup as a starter
Beef bourguignon with cream potatoes as the main course
A fruit skewer kebab dipped in Hotel chocolate
Finished with a cheese board and grapes

I've never done a bourguignon before , is it as similar as a diced steak casserole, and I'd like to add red wine to it , I've looked at recipes online but they differ greatly

Don’t M & S do it? Not mush of a break if you’re cooking a three course meal for six.

No need to be sarcastic. I've loads of French relatives, spent at least two months of every year in Paris including studying at La Sorbonne. I had a French Granny, lived in the 1980's in the 16th arondissment with my French husband until he died and we have a family cottage in the Burgundy region.

But hey ho - you learned a few recipes from a chef -I bow to your superior knowledge of all things French lol!

Bobbi, Seriously I would get the ready made stuff form Marks & Spencers - much less stressful and you can enjoy the meal and not stress out that your meat is going dry or the sauce is too sloppy ;-)
