About

This recipe is dreamy slow-cooker magic. The slow cooker enables you to easily make more, so you can freeze and do the same for your next serving. And it’s perfect for a big gathering, or as a date night dish – I find that conversation flows thanks to the whole bottle of red wine used to cook this deliciously rich beef stew. (A bonus: the longer the wine infuses, the better effect you get!)
