Cola Roast

Submitted by Hippie2MARS

"This is so easy it's almost embarrassing! This dish makes it's own gravy while it cooks. Although it sounds like an odd combination, it is truly delicious! *If you don't want to defrost the roast first, you can still use the same recipe, but cook about 4 1/2 to 5 hours."

Wow - was this great. I made it in my crock pot with the following changes: I used Campbell's Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom soup - no MSG in that one; 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup from the California Recipe mix box; and 1 tablespoon of freshly ground black pepper.

Good recipe for our Easter dinner. I made it in the crockpot all day and left out the potatoes and carrots. I loved the gravy. I'm going to freeze the rest of the gravy and use it later on for noodles, mashed potatoes, etc. Made for PAC Spring 2012.

I have made this roast before and despite the oddity of the ingredients, it is fabulous. I use one can of cola (NOT DIET!!!), and half-fat cream of mushroom soup. I always make it in the crockpot - cooking all day on low. Yum! Try it, you won't regret it!

Questions: 1) What type of beef roast? 2) I'm diabetic and would need to use Diet Coke? Any feedback on that?

I make roast in the crock pot this way all the time, except without the cola. I use beefy onion soup mix instead of the regular onion. It makes a good amount of rich, thick gravy, but I always want a little more gravy. So, this time I added 8 oz. of cola, I couldn't imagine adding 16 oz! The gravy was thinner and had a sweet flavor, as expected. It tasted very good. But, I like my gravy thicker and richer. So, I think I'll stick to the beefy onion soup-cream of mushroom soup combo.
