Mushroom Onion Pot Roast

This is a really easy slow cooker pot roast that doesn't take much time to prepare, and is easy to get going when you leave to work. The most labor intensive part is skinning the onions, but our local grocery store often has them pre-skinned. Ingredients 2-3 pound beef roast (we like London broil a lot) 1-1.5 pound small mushrooms (our store sells them bulk, so its easy to pick out the small ones) 1 pound pearl onions, tops bottoms and skins removed 1/2 bottle brown ale (preferably malty, low bitterness) 1/2 c. water or broth 1 tsp dried thyme 1/2 tsp (or less) dried rosemary S and P If time allows, brown meat, them combine remaining ingredients in slow cooker, and cook until you get home from work. Serve with mashed, baked or roasted potatoes, or add potatoes directly to the pot for a one dish meal. The juice is pretty flavorful, but if you like you can reduce it. I recommend drinking one of the beer's brethren alongside the meal. I prepare this the night befo
