Adapted from AllRecipes.com user lonwolf32

Reportedly yields 9 servings:

4 pounds rump roast
1 (10.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle of Guiness
9 slices of provolone
9 French rolls

Trim excess fat from the rump roast, and place in a slow cooker. Add the beef broth, garlic, onion soup and beer. Cook on Low setting for 7 hours.

Remove the meat from the slow cooker, slice diagonally, and place back in the sauce. Leave this in the slow cooker up to 1 additional hour on low.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), Split French rolls, and top with cheese. Bake 10 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted. Place beef in roll and use au jus for dipping.

Black Bean Chicken

Adapted from Sparkpeople member LOSER1231's recipe on Sparkrecipes.com
Yields 6 servings

1 lb frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
3/4 cup brown rice
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
16 oz jar of your favorite salsa (green or red)


Place all of this in your slow cooker and cook on low for 4-6 hours. While its a slow cooker recipe, you really want to watch it a bit so the rice doesn't get over cooked and mushy.

Before serving, stir with a fork to break up the chicken. It should shred pretty easily.
