Brisket in Ale - Warm Meal on a Cold Day

Got the slow cooker out again, must be up North! Got a great deal on an English Roast at Kroger, buy one get one free, so I am using it today for our Halloween Dinner.

3-4 Lb. Beef roast
2 medium onions sliced into rings
3 Bay leaves
1 12 oz can of beer (Killian's Red I used)
2 T packed brown sugar
1/4 C chili sauce
1/4 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1-3 cloves of garlic chopped


2T cornstarch
2 T cold water

Combine onions and bay leaves, place in bottom of slow cooker
Trim beef, place on top.
Combine next six (6) ingredients in a bowl than pour over beef, set slow cooker to desired time.

For gravy, remove beef when done, discard bay leaves. Measure 2 1/2 C of liquid, fat removed and pour into a sauce pan. Combine the 2 T of water and cornstarch, add to broth and cook until thick and bubbly, add back the onions and serve over egg noodles with a nice vegetable and warm bread.

Bon Appetit!
