Crockpot Beef Burgundy

Beef Burgundy is another family favorite (for those in my family that will eat beef).  I'm so crazy about crockpot recipes, since they're generally* easier to make & just toss it in the crock pot and go about your business. 

*I will caution that this recipe is a tad more complicated than just throwing stuff in the crock pot... not too difficult, but just be aware of it!
