Beef Bourguignon
Print
Deep down I do inspire to be a little like Julia Child, having fun in the kitchen and putting all I can into every dish possible. However reality sets in and I don’t have the time or resources to do 90% of the recipes she has. Maybe some day I will have that time. Until then I’ll be working, chasing a toddler with a baby in the belly and trying to balance it all! This twist on one of Julia’s classics will have your house smelling wonderful and satisfying that fancy food craving in no time. All with half of the effort! I like to serve it over some whole grain egg noodles. Be a conscious consumer when buying your noodles, read the label to ensure you are getting 100% whole grains!

I love this dish, especially during the colder months. Yours looks great — thanks for sharing!
This is one of my favorite dishes… and one of 2 recipes I have ever made out of Mastering The Art Of French Cooking. (I also did a cassoulet)
I can’t say the name of this dish without doing it in Julia’s voice, and pronouncing it in the French way.
Yum, I love beef bourguignon! (did you say it with Julia’s accent too?). Thanks for linking up with It’s a Keeper. I’m co-hosting today over at http://www.shugarysweets.com; stop on by!

What can I sub for the red wine?
You can just use more beef broth.
Thanks! I’m off to watch the video now!!
Hi,
I am new to this site, and to the whole freezer meal idea, altough I am LOVING IT!! Anyways, is this recipe freezable, and if yes, can I have instructions on doing that?
Thanks for this awesome site :o)
Welcome! If you read through the recipe above the freezer instructions are below the recipe directions
How well do the mushrooms reheat? Mushrooms often tend to get rubbery, in my experience, when not cooked fresh.
I think they turn out fine just like any other mushrooms in a stew.
