Sounds good, Mrrzy!

Here's a good and easy recipe for a cold winter night.

1. Put some chuck roast in a slow cooker. Don't bother to brown it.
2. Add chopped onions. Don't bother to saute them.
3. Add 1 - 2 bay leaves.
4. Pour in 1 cup of beer.
5. Cook on Low till meat is tender - prob. 8 to 10 hours.
6. Refrigerate till next day.
7. Remove and discard fat from top.
8. Slice meat thinly, trim fat.
9. Check amount of liquid. If needed, add water to make a decent
   amount of gravy.
10. Thicken liquid with 2 T of Wondra flour. Boil at least 2 mins to
    cook flour
11. Return meat to liquid, heat through.
12. Just before dining, stir in 2 tablespoons ketchup.

Serve with noodles or mashed potatoes to hold up the gravy. Salt at the table. This dish has a very Old World taste that reminds us of winter in our Wisconsin homeland.
