Steps

40 mins

1

In a large skillet cook ground beef, onions, and garlic over medium heat until may is brown and onion are tender, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat. (I have to do this in two steps because I need a larger skillet).
2

In a 3.5 or 4 quart slow cooker combine meat mixture, sweet peppers, celery, beer, ketchup, molasses, yellow mustard, chili powder, vinegar, and a dash of hot pepper sauce.
3

Cover and cook on low-heat seeing for 6 to 8 hours on high-heat setting fire 3 to 4 hours
4

To serve, use a slotted spoon to soon meat mixture onto roll bottoms. If desired, add assorted toppers ( pickles, peppers, extra mustard). Personally I usually eat these open faced because they're pretty sloppy.
