Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 pounds beef roast
  • 1 can (12 fl oz) cola
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) onion soup mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef roast: Place the 3-pound beef roast into the slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably without overlapping sides.
  2. Add cola: Pour one entire can of cola evenly over the beef roast, covering it to provide flavor and moisture during cooking.
  3. Season with onion soup mix: Sprinkle the packet of onion soup mix evenly on top of the roast to add savory flavor.
  4. Cook slowly: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

Notes

  • For best results, use a chuck roast or similar cut suitable for slow cooking to ensure tenderness.
  • Do not add extra water as the cola provides enough liquid for cooking.
  • Optionally, strain the cooking liquid after cooking to make a flavorful gravy.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3-4 days and freeze well for up to 3 months.
