help rescue my bland beef casserole in slow cooker

[outinthesticksmummy]

Hiya

Have got a beef bourginon casserole type thing in the sow cooker at the mo , chucked in my meat /carrots/onion/mushrooms/ stock and schwartz packet mix thing added extra tom puree .....but whenever i do these things the sauce always tastes bland and watery ;-((( still got few hours to go ....what else can i shove in to make it taste bit more interesting ??? Have added garlic too.

Just read few old poists and seems i should be adding less water .....too late now ....arrrghh

Soy sauce is great for picking up flavours in long-cooking dishes. I agree with the vinegar as a bit of acid is also great for sprucing up flavours.

Totally agree with the wine! And crushed garlic and rosemary are winners, too.

But I agree that you don't want to put everything in at once.
