INGREDIENTS
- 4 slices bacon, cut into 1" pieces
- 2 lbs beef stew meat (I used top round, trimmed and cut into large cubes)
- 1-2 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- Half an onion
- 1/2 tsp dried marjoram leaves
- 5cloves garlic clove
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- 1 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup
- 8 oz (weight) sliced mushrooms
- Salt, pepper, garlic to taste
Okay this is seriously one of the most delicious things I make! It is not totally natural (the onion soup that I added on a whim adds a lot of yummy flavor but if you want a more natural recipe just leave that out).
Cook bacon. I am limited on time so I just pop it in the microwave for four minutes. You want it halfway cooked. Put meat in the crock pot. Dump bacon and juices (aka fat) on the meat. Microwave carrots for a few minutes to soften. (This step is not necessary but we like softer carrots in our house and they seem to give more flavor to the dish if they start off soft. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours. I like to serve with my dairy free mashed potatoes (made with Earth Balance and Almond milk). This is a HUGE HIT and so YUMMY!
