Beef and Cabbage

Not sure what this is called, my sister gave me the recipe years ago. It's the only way I can get the kids to eat cabbage.......every time I make it they think it's onions!!

1-2 lbs Stew Meat
4 cups shredded cabbage (I use the bagged slaw mix)
1 envelope onion soup mix
3 Tbs. quick cooking tapioca
1 12oz. can of beer
3 cups water
Place cabbage then meat in crockpot, sprinkle with tapioca and soup mix, pour beer and water over all. Cook on low 7 hours or high for 3 1/2. I serve it over rice or mashed potatoes.
