       3 lb Lean beef stew meat cut into
   1 1/2    Inch pieces
       1 ts Salt
     1/2 ts Pepper
       2 md Onions thinly sliced
       1    8 oz. can mushrooms (or
            Pieces) un-drained
       1    12 oz. can of beer
            (I prefer a dark beer, and
            My favorite dark beer is
            Negro Modelo, a Mexican
            Beer)
       1 tb Vinegar
       2    Beef bouillon cubes
       2 ts Sugar
       2    Cloves garlic, minced
       1 ts Thyme
       2    Bay leaves
  
   Preparation: Put the beef in the crock pot. Combine all the other
   ingredients and pour over the beef. Cook on low for 8-10 hours or on
   high for 4-5 hours. Before serving thicken juices if desired. Joyce
   says she uses some flour or corn starch to do this.
