Slow cooker Beef Bourguignon

This recipe I found online. I fried the bacon and removed it from the pan. for meat I used a blade steak that I cut up. I browned my beef in the same pan and coated it with the flour from the recipe and removed from the pan. I sautéed 1/2 an onion chopped and 3 cloves of garlic and the Carrots. While they were cooking I deglaze the pan with red wine and a 1/4 of water. I put everything in a large ziplock bag to freeze. When I was ready to cook it. I dumped it in the slow cooker. I added remaining ingredients. It was delicious at supper time. Slow Cooker Beef Bourguignon has crazy tender melt in your mouth beef and hearty veggies slow cooked to perfection in a rich sauce. This meal is comforting and perfect for the cold months ahead!
