I did, two medium onions, but I sliced them and put them in early so
they melted into the gravy. The onions were in the ingredients

Of course the Genesee Cream Ale was my braising liquid, actually I
used two cans, and I added an 8 ounce can of tomato sauce too. I
seasoned with four bay leaves, lots of fresh ground black pepper,
parsley, marjoram, some chopped celery tops, two whole cloves, a piece
of blade mace, and a little MSG. At the end I thickened with a corn
starch slurry. Today after the meat was cold from the fridge I sliced
it and put it back into the pot, it's on the stove heating now, on the
lowest flame. I'm careful not to overcook pot roast, I want it
sliceable, not falling apart strings... to me falling into strings
it's ruined, may as well open a can of Dinty Moore stew, even the
texture of canned corned beef is better than strings.... I don't
understand pulled pork either, well I do, it's a booboo, it's what
evolved by people who can't cook.
