DRUNKEN GARLIC CROCK POT ROAST

Don't be afraid of all the garlic in this! It gets really mild from the long cooking process and gives the meat a wonderful flavor. This is a favorite for me, and I hope it will be for you, too. Different brands of beer will give you different amounts of sweetness ranging from bitter to malty (common beer characters). Try going with less sugar until you know how your beer will taste (as most of them add some amount of sweetness regardless).

Tips:

Use a good quality, flavorful cut of beef for the roast. A chuck roast or a rump roast are both good choices.
Brown the roast in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. This will help to develop the flavor.
Add plenty of garlic to the slow cooker. The garlic will infuse the roast with flavor and make the cooking liquid delicious.
Use a good quality beer for the cooking liquid. A dark beer, such as a stout or a porter, will add a lot of flavor to the roast.
Cook the roast on low for at least 8 hours. This will allow the meat to become tender and fall apart.
Serve the roast with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite sides.
