We have found that there are numerous ways to make a Beef Bourguignon recipe, but this one is the one that we settled on. This recipe works great for our family, and it’s rather simple to put together for any weekend night meal. You can make it in a crockpot if you wish, but we sued a Dutch oven. If you do not have a Dutch oven, it’s wise to invest in a good quality one. If properly cared for it will last forever and is very versatile for numerous different recipes. Depending on the number of people you may be cooking for, a good 6-quart does well for our family of four.
