The flavor of wine in every bite of this rich and hearty beef Burgundy is comfort food to the max. The beef is so tender, and it’s a wonderful one-dish meal, made in the slow cooker at that.
For me, the hardest part of this meal was finding the right wine. I looked high and low for a Burgundy wine but couldn’t find one. But the answer was easy after I finally asked one of the store employees; a pinot noir is a Burgundy wine. Thank goodness I asked.
One of my favorite pastas is fusilli, because it looks so pretty and fun. It’s a sturdy pasta too, which goes well with beef and carrots. But feel free to use wide noodles for this dish if you prefer.
I love how tender and moist the beef is in this dish. And I especially like that this is a one-dish meal, with meat, veggies and pasta all in one.
