Crockpot Beef Ragu

Crockpot Beef Ragu is truly the perfect dinner solution.  Delicious and easy!

All it has done in the last week or so is rain!  I’m talking 10 inches of rain.  Weather like this makes me just want to stay home!  Putting dinner into my crockpot  in the morning and then smelling the goodness coming from it all day screams comfort to me!

Today’s recipe is a beef ragu is the perfect slow cooker recipe for a rainy day like this.  Beef Ragu is a sauce of meat cooked with sautéed vegetables.  I love to serve it over penne pasta.  Then top it with fresh Parmesan cheese and fresh basil!  That is comfort food at it’s finest!

I used a chuck roast for the meat and combined it in my crockpot with canned tomatoes, fresh carrots, onions and celery.  Adding a spring of rosemary on top of everything as it cooks adds some extra flavor.

Let it cook on low for about 8 hours and then the meat will shred easily.  Add some additional salt and pepper if you like. and it is ready to serve.

This delicious and hearty ragu recipe is the perfect dinner solution any night of the week.
