Saucy Soda Roast
Ready In: 3 hrs 10 mins
Serves: 10-12
Ingredients
- 6 lbs pork shoulder butt
- 18 ounces dark cola (use more or less depending on how much gravy you like)
- 2 (10 3/4ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (1 1/4ounce) package onion soup mix
- 3 tablespoons brown gravy mix (1 packet)
- 1 large white onion, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (more or less, as desired)
- 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet, browning & seasoning sauce (or equivalent)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place roast in deep roasting pan or dutch oven.
- In a large bowl, mix canned soup, dry soup, gravy mix, Kitchen Bouquet and garlic. Pour over roast.
- Cover the roast and gravy mix with onion slices.
- Pour the soda over the whole thing. Sprinkle with black pepper. (Unlike other roast recipes, I don't add salt to this one because there is a lot of salt in the ingredients.).
- Cover and bake for approximately 3 hours or to desired tenderness. Meat is done when it falls apart with a fork.
- Add root vegetables in the last 45 minutes of cooking, if desired.
- Remove meat and veggies from gravy. If you prefer a thicker gravy, you may thicken it with a little cornstarch and water.
