Crock Pot Sauerbraten

This is a mock-sauerbraten. 

The real sauerbraten takes a lot of work. 

This crock pot version will give you that taste with

 5 minutes of prep, and it cooks all day while you
are doing something else.

 Ingredients.

Cut up the onion and put in the bottom of the
crock pot. Add the beef and season as desired
 with salt and pepper.

 Coat both sided with flour.

Add the remaining ingredients, cover and cook 

on low for about 8 hours. Thicken with the

cornstarch mixture. Cook 5' longer.

Serve with mashed potatoes, or better yet.....

Serve with my easy homemade spaetzle!
