I love this served over a mound of mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. Feel free to use rice if you prefer. Served with a salad and some crusty bread and you have a yummy meal.

Member's Choice Lynette's Beef Bourguignon recipe is so good! The meat is tender and juicy. It soaks up all the rich wine flavor. Carrots and pork add a salty and sweet taste to this stew. We served ours over noodles and it was fantastic.
