It was alright, wasn't as garlicky as I would have liked. It was a little on the salty side after doubling the sauce recipe for 2 lbs of crab legs. I used dungeness crab, don't know if that made a difference. In my opinion, I think the snow crab legs would have been saltier. Thanks, anyways. I don't think I will make again.

I used 4 cloves of fresh minced garlic, 1 cup of coke, 1/2c red wine, 2-14.5 oz cans of stewed tomatoes and 1-6oz can of tomato paste with 4 lbs of beef roast and it was not sweet at all. I even had to put in 2 tbsp of brown sugar to round off the taste. Browned the meat first, then cut it in 1.5" x 1.5" chunks. Simmered in stockpot on stove for 3.5-4 hrs and it was so tender. Also added in 1 lb of baby carrots, 3 celery stalks, and 2 large potatoes. My husband could not believe I made it with coke. I liked this recipe more as opposed to the other coke roast recipe since it's tomato instead of creamed soup based. Thanks for the recipe. Will definitely make again.

This was very good for homemade taste. Added a pound of fresh mushrooms quartered. I doubled all of the ingredients including the bacon. Drained all of the bacon drippings except for what I needed to just coat the pan and added 2 cans of diced tomatoes for texture and only used 1-8 oz can of tomato sauce, and 2 cans of tomato paste. I used 2.5 lbs of lean ground beef and still only kept the sugar at 1/4 cup, which is plenty. Also, used 8 cloves of minced garlic when browning the beef and the vegetables. Thanks for the recipe.
