Notes

I use a cabernet or merlot wine, no need to be expensive.

Non-alcoholic sub- You could use non-alcoholic red wine. Or use 2 additional cups of beef broth and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce.

If you want the gravy to be thicker you can add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoon of water mix together in a small bowl. Simmer the sauce on medium-high and add a little of the cornstarch mixture at a time until the desired thickness.

Slow Cooker directions: Follow the directions in the recipe using a large skillet then add everything to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 5-6 hours.
