How to Make Crock Pot Beef Burgundy
A rich and deeply flavorful sauce with ultra tender chunks of beef waiting for you at the end of the day…
Simple and Easy Beef Burgundy Recipe
This recipe for Crock Pot Beef Burgundy is a one I worked up a few years ago. Ricky loves Beef Burgundy and I’m always looking for a new flavor twist for beef cooked in a crock pot. Being teetotalers, I finally came up with a good substitute for wine that really mimics the flavor and tenderizing effect in a beef dish. It’s difficult not to lick our plates when this delectable sauce is present so I recommend serving this with some sort of bread that you can mop the remaining sauce up with. 😉
These ingredients are:
- Stew Meat
- Egg Noodles (for serving, rice works as well)
- Cream of Mushroom Soup*
- White Vinegar
- Onion Soup Mix
- Grape Juice
- Minced Garlic
- Place all sauce ingredients in a medium sized bowl or small sauce pot and heat.
- If you’re using a bowl you can just put this in the microwave for 1-2 minutes. After it is heated stir well until well blended.
- If using a sauce pot you an heat it over medium heat, stirring often, until well blended.
- Place beef tips in bottom of slow cooker. Pour sauce over. Cook on low, 7-8 hours or high, 3-4.
- Serve Crock Pot Beef Burgundy over freshly cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes, spooning extra sauce on top.
This Crock Pot Beef Burgundy will warm you up and get your taste buds dancing! It’s become one of the meals my husband and I look forward to most and I sure hope you get to try it soon.

Tips for this Beef Burgundy Recipe
Substitute for Wine
The grape juice mixed with a smidge of white vinegar serves as an excellent stand in for wine in this recipe and really gives the sauce a delicious depth of flavor, making all the difference! If you don’t normally drink grape juice in your house, you can freeze the rest of it in an ice cube tray and then pop the cube into a zipper bag to store in your freezer until you want to make this recipe again.

Thanks Christy. This looks so yummy. I love it any time I can make a tender beef dish. And I get to smell it simmering in the crock pot? Bonus! I too am holed up in this cold weather. Today it got up to 35 and we thought it was a heat wave! Keep warm!
Heat wave indeed!! I hope you are able to keep warm as well Chrissy!!
Would this be okay to cook and freeze for a later time of course other than the noodles or rice? I sent you an email christy asking about cooked meals to make up in advance and freeze.
I cant see any reason why it wouldn’t work, I will see if I can find the email in the massive mess of an inbox I have 🙂
I love your grape juice and vinegar idea. If you are ever in a pinch…grape or seedless blackberry (my fav is seedless blackberry) jam or jelly and the vinegar. I learned this trick yrs ago watching the cooking show “Two Fat Ladies.”
I LOVED that show…those two old “broads” were a hoot! Learned a lot from them, too.
Hi Barbara……love your idea using blackberry jam! Do you know what the equivalent would
be compared with grape juice?
Thanks for sharing another one of your great tips Barbara!!!
I used 3 heaping TBSP of the jelly. Didn’t really measure it. Just kinda scooped it out. Same amount of vinegar as in the recipe. This recipe is DELICIOUS.
Hi Christy!
This looks so yummy, I want to try it ASAP! My slow cooker died after many years of faithful service, so I’ve got to get a new one. I know you have many that you use, can you recommend a good one for me? There are so many on the market these days, I get dizzy looking at all of them!
Thank you for another awesome recipe, I’m sure it will taste just as good as it looks.
My favorite is a Hamilton Beach, it has a lid that locks down and is programmable. I will have to get the exact name/model for you.
Oh thank you so much Christy, I really would appreciate the name/model! I really hate not having a slow cooker to rely on!
This recipe would work in an Instant Pot, too, I’m thinking—just faster…
We also live in Alabama, and we’re not used to this extreme cold! Our youngest son lives in Charleston, SC, and he is loving the snow they are getting today. I’m like you Christy, I’m not leaving my warm home unless I have to. I sure dread seeing this month’s electric bill!
This recipe sounds good. What if you want to use wine instead of grape juice ?
Yes, me too, I would use wine myself. I assume the equivalent of the grape juice but minus the vinegar?
You can if that is your preference 🙂
Oh goodness, you and me both!!
This looks very good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Cathy!!
I am allergic to mushrooms. What could I use in place of the cream of mushroom?
Perhaps cream of onion?
Cream of celery soup! Easy to find and very versatile!
You could just make a simple white sauce and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
It is cold in Iowa, is to get down to -14 tonight, was -19 2 nights ago, the heat in the apartment building where I live cannot keep up, my apartment is running 63 degrees and the heat is turned all the way up. I have on longjohns under my regular clothes and a blanket around me.
Oh goodness, that is cold Beulah!! Please try to stay warm, hopefully this really cold snap will break soon!
