I slice onions and line the bottom of the slow cooker throw in a bunch of garlic and sprinkle half a package of Lipton onion soup mix then add the meat cover it with more sliced onion and the rest of the soup mix plus a bit more garlic. Baby carrots all around then half a can of beer. Cook on high for 3 hours and then low for at least 3 more. I put potatoes in for the last three hours.

Occasionally I'll substitute V8 for the beer.
