Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of tomato paste or a few cloves of garlic to the slow cooker.

If you have picky eaters, consider using baby carrots instead of mushrooms, as they add a touch of sweetness. You can also substitute the red wine with grape juice or additional beef broth if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.

For a thicker sauce, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the stew about 30 minutes before serving.
