I don't see why it wouldn't work with half the ingredients. My only worry would be the cooking time. If you cook it this way, everything is moist and tender and the meat is falling apart. I wouldn't want you to overcook it and dry it out.

Is your slowcooker programmable? I'm wondering if you cut the ingredients in half, than cooked it for 4 hours and had it stay on warm the rest of the day if that would work.

As far as peeling the pearled onions go, I just cut the end off each and make a slice down the side (very shallow cut) just to get past all the skin, and just peel it off.
