Crock Pot Coca Cola Roast
Components:
- Chuck roast, 3–4 pounds; 1 can (12 ounces) Coca-Cola or a different cola
- One packet of onion soup mix
- One cup of optional beef broth (for added flavour)
- 4-5 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- a trio of medium potatoes, sliced into pieces
- One sliced onion
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, if desired.
Guidelines:
Get the roast ready:
- On all sides of the chuck roast, season with salt & pepper.
Roast to Sear (Optional):
- Brown the roast by searing it for two to three minutes on each side in a skillet set over medium-high heat. Although it adds more flavour, you may omit this step if you’re pressed for time.
Arrange the Crock Pot’s ingredients in layers:
- The sliced onion should be placed at the bottom of the crock cooker. Arrange the potatoes and carrots on top.
- Arrange the roast, either seared or unseared, over the vegetables.
Include Liquid
- Combine the onion soup mix and Coca-Cola in a different bowl. Cover the roast and vegetables with this mixture. For extra flavour, add beef broth, if using.
Cook:
- Once the beef is soft and easily breaks apart with a fork, cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours.
Serve:
- After cooking, take out the vegetables and roast from the crock pot. Before slicing or shredding, let the roast a few minutes of resting.
- Garnish with some of the crock pot sauce and serve with the cooked vegetables.
Advice:
- Depending on your taste, you can also add other veggies like parsnips or celery.
- For a few days, leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
