Meanwhile, in a 3-1/2- or 4-quart crockery cooker combine carrots, potatoes, beer, tapioca, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Stir in browned meat and undrained tomatoes.
Step 3
Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 9 to 11 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours.
