Slow Cooker Coca-Cola Beef Roast

I don’t know what it is, but people love pouring Coke on meat in the Crockpot. I think the Pioneer Woman is probably to thank for this sweet trick – so thank you Ree. Next time you’re in town, I’d love to have you over for dinner and oh, sure – you can cook, that would be awesome!

Truth be told, I actually ended up making this recipe up – it’s very, very simple. I had received different variations of beef roast recipes from some of you – so I ended up adding ingredients that I had and leaving out ingredients that I didn’t. This roast was incredibly tender and I liked the slightly sweet flavor that came from the Coke. It was a big hit with the handsome husband.

Author: Heather

Recipe type: Beef

Ingredients

• Beef roast of some kind. I look for cheap cuts. They will be in the slow cooker so long they usually tenderize just perfectly. Ask your butcher if you’re uncertain what kind of roast to buy.
• 2 cans of Coca-Cola (I bet Dr. Pepper would be good, too)
• Lipton Recipe Secrets, Onion - Amazon actually has a pretty decent deal on these –Lipton Recipe Secrets, Onion, 2Count 2Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
• Onions, quartered
• Carrots, roughly chopped (or use baby carrots for ease)
• Potatoes, quartered
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Place beef roast into crockpot. If it has a fatty layer on it, I usually try and put that on top, so it drips down through meat to moisturize.
2. Sprinkle chopped vegetables around the roast in the slow cooker.
3. Pour two Coca-Colas over roast into slow cooker.
4. Sprinkle one package of Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion on top of the roast.
5. Cook on high for 8-10 hours or until meat is falling apart and your vegetables are tender.
