Slow cooker Beef Bourguignon!

This is definetly one of those meals to make for a sunday dinner. No only is it easy but it's darn good.

3 pounds beef roast, or beef stew meat (I used a chuck roast I had in the freezer)
6 slices bacon--no need to cook (I used turkey)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced in rings
1 cup carrots (chopped or baby)
2 Tbsp of minced garlic or ( 4 garlic cloves minced)

1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups red wine
1/2 tsp (italian seasoning) I used tastefully simple but you could use one from the grocery store or try 1/4 tsp dried basil & 1/4 tsp of dried oregano.

The Directions.

In the bottom of your crock pot, smear around the olive oil. Then lay down 3 slices of bacon. Add sliced onion and garlic. Put the meat into the pot on top of the onion and garlic, and sprinkle on dried spices and herbs. Toss the meat to distribute the spices to all sides. Add tomato paste. Lay the other 3 slices of bacon on top of the meat, and throw in the carrots. Pour wine over the whole thing.

Cover and let cook on low for 8-9 hours, high for 4-5, or until meat has reached desired tenderness. I served this over mashed potatoes, it was awesome
