I love crock pot cooking, and am always in search of new recipes. Growing up in NE Wisconsin, we are lucky to have a large Belgian/German settling and influence on food. This recipe combines one of my favorite comfort foods with the convenience of a crockpot. This smells so good when I come home from work.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

    Yum. This makes the BEST gravy/sauce. The meat was tender and tasty, but the gravy definitely made the dish. It was a little sweet, which surprised me, considering the dark lager I used. I also had to guess when to add the salt and thyme. Thank you so much for posting, Made for ZWT4

    Yummy - definitely my type of crockpot recipe. I don't use my crockpot a lot for cooking meat as I don't like what it does to the texture, but this recipe is different - probably due to the initial browning of the meat (and the tasty addition of the sauteed onion and garlic). The meat looked like a roast should and was very tender. Delicious sauce. This is a keeper.
