Boeuf bourginon it is!

Thanks to Susan for reminding me what recipe I promised to share! 

(I love Susan. Some day we are going to meet in real life!)

Anyway, boeuf bourginon. You'll notice there aren't many measurements. That's just not how I cook. Bake? I'm all about exact measurements, but making dinner is more of an eyeballing thing until it looks/smells/tastes right for me. 

Here's what you need:

• crock pot
• beef (I use round steak, stew beef, or sirloin steaks), cubed
• onions, chopped
• flour, salt, pepper
• garlic, chopped
• burgundy wine
• beef stock, if necessary
• mushrooms, if you like them

And here's what you do:

• Put the beef and onions in the cold crockpot. Sprinkle with flour, salt, and pepper, Stir around until the beef is coated.
• Pour in the bottle of wine and add a bunch of chopped garlic. (I use almost a 1/4 cup.)
• Add mushrooms if you like them.
• Turn on the crock pot to low and let it cook all day.
• If you need more liquid as the day goes, add some beef stock.

We like it over mashed potatoes. Mashed kind of chunky and with the skins on, made with sour cream and thyme.

That's it!

Reminds me of Julie and Julia. Loved that movie. So want to try this because it just turned cold again in Houston, TX..yikes we are really having winter. Don't know when I will be able to make and not eat left overs for weeks...Kevin, my husband is leaving for Angola, Africa for 4-6 weeks...oil industry. So I think it is simple meals for a month. Please pray for my patience with the kids while doing everything for a month!

I'm generally all about measurements....do you use the whole bottle of wine? And, it also reminds me of Julie and Julia. =)
