+This one is a delicious slow cooked beef stewed in beer.
+The smoked bacon is not in the traditional recipe but it's good. Don't add it if you want the real deal.

+## Directions

+1. Cut meat into big chunks

+4. Set meat aside, deglaze the pot with a bit of beer, put in the onions, bacons and the brown sugar.
+5. Once the sugar is melted and the pot is deglazed properly, put the meat back in.
+6. Pour the rest of the beer into the pot.
+7. Toast the slices of gingerbread with a bit of mustard, put in the pot.
+8. Add thyme, bay leaves, cloves, juniper berries
+9. Add salt.
+10. Let it simmer for 4 to 8 hours. Check on it regularly and add water if you feel like the sauce is too thick and you need to cook it longer.
+11. Serve with a nice mashed potato.
