Recipe from http://southernfood.about.com.
List of Ingredients
1 boneless chuck roast, about 3 to 4 lb.
4 slices bacon
8 to 10 small onions, peeled, or 2 medium onions, quartered
1 to 2 Tblsp. brown sugar
8 ounces mushrooms, halved or whole
1 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 (10 oz) can beef broth, undiluted
1 cup beer
Recipe
Fry the bacon in a large, non-stick skillet until crispy. Remove to paper towels and drain off all but about a tsp. of the grease. Add onions to the pan; sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook until onions are lightly browned; remove from the pan and set aside. Add mushrooms to the pan (with a little butter or oil, if necessary). Cook until softened; remove from the pan and set aside.
In a large plastic ziploc bag, combine flour with salt, allspice, and pepper; add roast and shake until all sides are well covered with flour mixture. Brown quickly on all sides. Place the roast in a Dutch oven, 4 to 6-quart saucepan with cover, or crockpot. Place diced bacon, onions and mushrooms over the roast.
Add vinegar, beef broth and beer to the skillet; bring to a boil. Boil for about 3 minutes; pour over roast and vegetables.
Stove Top: simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, until meat is tender.
Crockpot: Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, or on low for 8 to 10 hours. Serves 4 to 6.
