This Crock Pot Beef With Mushroom and Red Wine Gravy is the perfect comfort food for a cozy night in. The beef is tender and juicy, and the rich red wine gravy is full of flavor. This recipe is easy to put together, making it a great option for busy weeknights or when you're craving a hearty meal without too much fuss.

2.	Pour the red wine over the mixture and stir well.
3.	Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.

PROS

This crock pot beef is incredibly delicious and tender, with a rich and savory gravy that perfectly complements the tender meat.

It requires minimal preparation and is easy to make, even for beginners.
It is a great option for busy weeknights or when you want to meal prep ahead for the week.

CONS

The beef may become slightly overcooked if left in the crock pot for too long.

Unlike searing or roasting the beef, cooking it in the crock pot can result in a less crispy exterior.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a good source of high quality protein, iron, vitamin B12, and zinc. The mushrooms provide additional vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D and selenium.
If you’re concerned about high sodium levels, you can opt for a low-sodium beefy onion soup mix or adjust the seasoning to your liking.
