Lamb Stew for the Crockpot

1 lb of lamb neck cut up (1 lb was adequate for the Man and me, but you'd need more for more people, the girls had something else for dinner)
1 bottle of Guinness
some dried thyme
2 potatoes (I used Russet because that's what I had, red would have been better)

I marinated the lamb in the Guinness over night. Sliced the potatoes thinly, putting one down in the crockpot first and then the meat, poured the Guinness over it, then added the last potato. Added a sprinkle or so of dried thyme. I cooked it on low all day long and stirred it a couple of times, the smell from the crockpot was heavenly. It was very good. It did need salt. I almost never salt my food but this was necessary. If I make this again (lamb neck isn't exactly always available at Shop Rite), I will skip the potatoes entirely and make mashed potatoes separately because I think the sauce that the Guiness makes would taste great over mashed potatoes. We also had some Irish cheese and chocolate chip scones for dessert.
