Roast Beef Crock Pot Recipe Coke

Beef Coca Cola Pot Roast AKA "Pop" Roast! It's a crazy concept for sure, but using soda or pop ( coke) with your roast beef is actually one of the most delicious ways to make a pot roast! Serve this with my mashed potato casserole for a treat!
Who on earth puts Coke into a gravy and then onto a roast?
This delicious concoction took a lot of trust for me to attempt.After searching the internet and realizing that every single recipe I came across had rave reviews about using a cola soda on roast beef, I had to try it. And it was meant to be; I actually had full-sugared Coke in the fridge, which is a rarity, usually if there is pop, its diet.
- I was told once that the term "pop" can be a uniquely regional term for soda, so for those who aren't familiar with it, if I talk pop, I mean soda or soft drink. By regional I also mean that every Canadian I know refers to it as so.
- For this recipe I used a large, long blade or chuck roast, and this meal would safely feed 6-8 adults. I love the fact that its a one-roaster meal, is amazing to serve to guests and is incredibly easy!
Now for the usual pretty pictures of food. The Coke beside the veggies is the very definition of incongruous, which means not harmonious in character or lacking harmony of parts. Or, simply put:
Good vs Evil
Oh my carrots, my bountiful, gorgeous carrots that we have been eating daily. We are going to sprout whiskers and start hopping. Which, coincidentally, as a rabbit owner, I know is a fallacy; they are NOT the best food for rabbits. But for the sake of a cliche, we'll go with it.
Get a big dang roaster. Biggest you have. The one I use was a wedding gift, and one of my favorites still. It fits a turkey, it will cook this roast and enough veggies for 8 adults, the possibilities are endless. It's a son-of-a-gun to find the space to store, but so worth it!
Tips and Tricks for making Beef Coca Cola Pot Roast
- Chop up all the veggies you need, go big or go home! Fill it up! You're feeding a horde!
- Leftovers are very, very good.
- Throw in a few cloves of garlic as well, as many as you like.
- The beauty of this recipe is that you can make it small, or you can make it large, there is so much sauce, plus water from the veggies that you don't have to worry about anything drying out. Rarely is there a one roaster meal that you can serve at a dinner get-together.
- This can be cooked lower and slower in the oven if wanted. You might have to cook larger roasts an hour or two longer, plan for longer as it's okay if Chuck roasts "over" cook. That just helps the fat break down and the meat is more tender.
Make this in the slow cooker!
You can easily make this in the slow cooker, if you don't mind the vegetables being softer and not roasted! Simply follow the instructions as is and place into a slow cooker instead and cook for 7-8 hours on low!
Serve and enjoy! It has the traditional flavor of roast beef with a slight sweet flavor, just the right amount.
Check back to see what I made with the leftovers, I love when a meal stretches over two meals!
Happy Cooking!
