Slow Cooker Beef and Cheese Recipe

A hearty and comforting dish, perfect for a cozy night in. The beef is slow-cooked until tender and then combined with a creamy cheese sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions:

  1. Brown the beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the beef on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic until softened.
  3. Combine ingredients: Place the browned beef, sautéed vegetables, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce.
  4. Cook: Cover and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  5. Make the sauce: In a separate saucepan, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  6. Combine sauce and beef: Stir the cheese sauce into the slow cooker with the beef. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and combined.
  7. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or crusty bread.

Enjoy!
