Beef in red wine gravy

This is one of my husband's favorite meals, and it is a crock-pot meal, which I love!


1.5 lbs of beef stew meat (you can change the amount based on how much you want to make), 1 onion, mushrooms, red wine, corn starch, onion soup mix, and egg noodles.


Chop up your onion


In the crock-pot layer onions, stew meat, and sprinkle with the onion soup mix.


Cover with 3 T of corn starch


Cover with 1.5 C of red wine (I have used cooking wine or real wine and not noticed a difference in taste)


Cook in crock-pot for 10-12 hours on the low setting or 5-6 hours on the high setting.


Optional: We like this with mushrooms, so in the last hour of cooking I chop some mushrooms and stir in.


You serve this over pasta, egg noodles are good. This time I tried the whole grain egg noodles, and they were good.


And serve!
Trust me, it tastes a lot better than it looks! This makes plenty, about 6 servings.
I calculate the meat portion to be 5 WW points, then add the amount you have in your pasta.
Wonderful for busy days and cold weather days!
