Ingredients
Scale
1 beef roast (approximately 2.5 pounds, such as chuck roast)
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1 can (12 ounces) Coca-Cola (not diet)
4–5 medium red potatoes, halved
3–4 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
Instructions
Prepare the Roast:
Place the beef roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the roast.
Add Vegetables:
Arrange the halved potatoes and carrot chunks around the roast in the slow cooker.
Mix Sauce:
In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and Coca-Cola. Stir until well blended.
Pour Sauce:
Pour the Coca-Cola and soup mixture over the roast and vegetables, ensuring everything is well-coated.
Cook:
Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Set it to low heat and cook for 6 to 8 hours. The longer cooking time will result in a more tender roast.
Serve:
Once cooked, transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving platter. Stir the remaining liquid in the slow cooker to combine, creating a savory gravy. Serve the roast and vegetables hot, drizzled with the gravy.
Notes
Variations:
For added flavor, you can sear the roast in a hot skillet with a bit of oil before placing it in the slow cooker. This step is optional but can enhance the depth of flavor.
Feel free to add other root vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips, along with the potatoes and carrots.
Storage:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
