Slow Cooker Wine-Braised Ribs
In choosing favorite mushroom recipes to share, beef was an obvious choice. Beef goes perfectly with mushrooms and finding all my ingredients on sale was a plus. It made otherwise pricy beef cuts more affordable.
Braising with wine in the slow cooker makes this super easy. It adds French elegance to an otherwise mundane weeknight meal.
The sauce is perfectly tasty with all the beef, mushrooms and onions. I served it over mashed potatoes as you can see. It was pure comfort food. Very warming for the fall season now upon us. Add in a salad and a slice of buttered French bread and you’re all set.
