-Pre heat your slow cooker whilst you are preparing your veg and meat if you need to dice by hand.
-Chop up your carrots and onion. (I added mushrooms too)
-Add all the ingredients into the slow cooker.
-Mix in the water, brown ale and tomato puree into a jug and blend together. (I also added a bit more ale)
-Pour over the meat and veg.
-Put the lid on and away you go. I gave it a bit of a stir half way through.
Cook on high for up to 4 hours or on low for up to 8 hours.
Serve with whatever you like. I made some roast potatoes but did them in the oven.
