We all really enjoyed this low carb crock pot beef and beer carbonnade when I made it for dinner recently.
It sounds kinda fancy, but is really just a hearty Belgian-style beef stew made with onions and Belgian ale.
Recipe Notes
Since we’re not Belgian ale drinkers and I didn’t feel like making a special trip to the store in search of it, I used a bottle of amber ale that was hiding in the back of the fridge.
This is definitely hearty wintertime fare.
Served with noodles and slow cooker apple glazed carrots, this crock pot beef and beer carbonnade made for a satisfying meal. And the only thing left to do at dinnertime was boil the noodles! Oh, how I love my crock pot!
To keep this meal low in carbs, serve over zucchini noodles, carrot noodles or cauliflower rice.
