Why you should try this crock pot roast with coke recipe

Traditional pot roast recipes typically call for a chuck roast, potatoes, carrots, onions, and beef broth at the least. While these can be flavorful as is, adding a few extra ingredients can give it an even better taste. The few extra ingredients added to this pot roast recipe are a cola soda and onion soup mix. This takes the place of having to add all of your own seasonings and tastes delicious!

Although this is one of the longer-cooking slow cooker recipes, the prep work is minimal and you’ll have plenty of time to get things done while this cooks. And no need to cook anything extra… everything is in the pot and ready to eat once it’s all done cooking. A win-win! If you are looking for a holiday roast, try my Slow Cooker Cranberry Pot Roast.

Recipe Ingredients

• Chuck Roast: I recommend getting a beef roast that is at least 3-4 pounds. This will ensure you have plenty of meat for serving. We also use a chuck roast in my Slow Cooker Apple Cider Pot Roast, or our slow cooker sauerbraten.
• Veggies: Make it easy by using a bag of baby carrots that way all you need to do is slice the onion and red potatoes.
• Dry Onion Soup Mix: This seasoning mix is a combination of dry onion flakes, beef boullion granules or paste, onion powder, parsley, celery seed, paprika, and black pepper. Using a pack of the soup mix is a lot easier than combining all of these ingredients together yourself.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup: Not only does this soup help add a thick gravy like consistency to the slow cooking roast recipe, but it also adds additional flavors.
• Worcestershire: This sauce has always been naturally paired with meat, especially beef and pork.
• Coca Cola: This liquid makes for a natural tenderizer and caramelized flavor. Get ready for nice and tender veggies and meat.

Step-by-Step Directions

Step One – Add the chuck roast to the slow cooker. Add the carrots, potatoes, and onion.

Step Two – Add in the carrots, potatoes, and onion.

Step Three – Sprinkle over the onion soup mix.

Step Four – Add the cream of mushroom soup, you can smear it over the top of the roast and vegetables. Don’t worry about it being perfect, it will all cook down together. Then, pour over the Worcestershire sauce and cola. Cover and cook on LOW for 9 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

Step Five – You can remove the beef onto a plate or keep in the crockpot and shred it with two forks. Discard any fat and degrease the gravy with paper towels.

Step Six – Add the roast back to the slow cooker. Serve and enjoy!
