Take Me to France - Beef Bourguignon Recipe ⋆

It’s time to make Beef Bourguignon! Beef Bourguignon is a classic French dish. This recipes written to be done in a crockpot but we chose to do it in a Dutch oven because we were going to be home and it cooks faster. For instance we started around 1 PM and we’re ready to eat at 4:30 PM. If it’s done in the Dutch oven, the oven needs to be preheated to 350°
