We all really liked the flavor of this, but it dried out. Maybe I cooked it too long, I didn't watch that, and maybe my pot lid didn't seal well enough so the steam escaped. I used all the red wine plus a can of beef broth, to make sure it didn't cook dry, so I was surprised when it did. Whatever, we loved the taste and I'd make it again. Next time I'll put foil over the top under the lid to make a good seal and check it more frequently.

This dish was OK, I used cooking wine, which may have been a mistake since it did have salt added, and the end result was a VERY salty meal. My husband liked it, so if I make it again I would find another wine to use.

It's okay. I may try it again, but substitute 1 cup of chicken broth for wine as others have suggested. It also needs more depth to it...I don't know what though.

I took the advice of previous reviews and used half the red wine. I did not add the canned onions at the end but doubled the mushrooms. It had mixed reviews with my family. The children did not care for it and my husband thought it was good. Thanks Teri.

TEN STARS!!!! Wow! My whole family enjoyed this! I used 1 cup wine and 1 cup chicken broth instead of all wine...then i added 1/2 can mushroom soup with roasted garlic and 1/2 can of evaporated milk in the final 30 minutes! It was wonderfully creamy and just right!!!! I served it over wheat noodles...a healthy choice! Yum!!!!! My husband insisted I SAVE the leftovers! Thanks for a great recipe! Now I'm cooking the cheesecake brownies (recipe on this site) for dessert! mmmmmmmm!

This is soooo good. I made it one other time and it turned out wonderful - I thought it was just beginner's luck, but I made it again today for Sunday dinner and it again it turned out great. I was wondering if anyone had added potatoes to it, at what time during the cooking process would you add them?

What a treat! We were pleasantly surprised at the great flavor of this dish! I purchased tenderized stew meat which proved to be a good idea! I used about 1 cup of oat flour (due to wheat allergy) and tossed the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag with the meat - it worked out GREAT and all the meat was nicely coated! I also used 2 bay leaves to boost the flavor. I substituted white wine for red because I didn't have any on hand, and it really didn't detract from the flavor at all. I skipped adding the canned mushrooms and onions at the end (I forgot!) and LOVED it just the same! Served over rice.

Good. But I suggest adding chicken broth and cutting down on the wine. I also didn't add the canned onions at the end, instead I put in 2 red onions with the others.

My dad makes a fabulous beef burgundy, and I could not for the life of me find his recipe, so I punched in the ingredients on this site. Low and behold, this appeared. It is almost identical to my dad's and has always been a great comfort meal for me. The only things I did differently are, used 1 cup of beef broth and 1 cup of wine, and did not add extra onion for the last half hour. I grew up with this served over rice, so that is what I did. Fabulous!

This was a wonderful stew. I missed the other reviewers suggestions to add less wine, and made it with all the wine. To my surprise (and delight) my 1 and 3 year olds (and my husband) all loved it. It did have a VERY strong red wine flavor, though, so next time I may cut the wine by 1/2 cup. I skipped the mushrooms (due to personal preference) and also didn't add the canned onions at the end -- I thought it already had enough onions with the fresh one. Also, I browned everything in the pan, and then let it cook in the crockpot for 3 hours. The meat was very tender, and the house smelled wonderful. I served it over buttered egg noodles. Thanks for a great recipe. I will make this again.

Great flavor. I didn't read the other reviews before making this dish and found out that I needed to add some beef broth. I used red wine vinegar but it still was wonderful. I also preferred to use fresh mushrooms and I added frozen baby onions at the end. I also noticed that the cook time could have been shorter for me - but it came out very tender. Loved it and will make again. YUM! Thanks for sharing!
