This is delish! I love the suggestion and recipes for using up the leftover meat. Two nights of dinners that come together quickly- I love it!

We tried variations of it twice in the same weekend and loved it both times.

If I made this again I'd cut the amount of beer in half, it was a little too over powering but the roast turned out nice and moist.

OMG-this was the best thing I have ever made in the crock pot. My whole family loved it, and even my 9 year old daughter asked for more. I told my husband, if I should ever be asked what I want for my last meal, this would be it. Made it with mashed potatoes and green beans. YUM!

I just have a question: "Why does the roast have to be cut in half?"

I subbed ginger ale for the beer. Probably a little sweeter gravy that way but still very good.

This recipe was amazing!!!!! I was able to get three meals out of it and I'm feeding 6 people in my house. Everyone enjoyed it and wanted more!

Fabulous and simple!! I was amazed that it tasted great just following the recipe. Who knew so few ingredients would turn out a fantastic roast!!

Tender meat with an interestingly flavoured gravy. Reminded me of a gravy with red wine in it. Looking forward to making the accompanying recipe for the leftovers "Roast Beef with Chive Roasted Red Potatoes". A keeper.
