Slice onion and mince garlic. Add onion, pepper, garlic and beer to crock pot. Cover crock, set temperature to LOW and cook 5 hours until meat is tender.

Half hour before serving turn crock to HIGH. Melt remaining 1 TBS of butter in microwave and mix in the 1/4 cup flour. Stir butter/flour into meat mixture, cook on high 30 minutes stirring occasionally.

While the Drunk Chuck thickens, cook rice and prepare a tossed salad. In 4 QT sauce pan bring 3 cups of water, 1 1/2 cups rice, 1 TBS butter, pinch of salt to a boil, cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Prepare salad while Drunk Chuck and rice finish cooking.

Serve Drunk Chuck over rice and with the salad for a complete dinner.

P.S. It's OK to serve this to the kids, all the alcohol from the beer is cooked out.
