• 2 sprinkle with onion soup mix and then pour onion soup and beer over it.
• 3 drop bouillon cubes in different spots into the liquid and sprinkle pepper and salt to taste over all.
• 4 cook on high for 4-5 hours. (i guess you could also cook on low for 8 hours or so, but i haven't tried it!).
• 5 remove meat and slice or shred; return to slow cooker and cover.
• 6 turn to low and let meat soak up the juices until ready to serve.
