I changed this recipe quite a bit. I didn't make it in the oven, I wanted to make this a crockpot meal so I wouldn't have to "babysit." I first layered a chopped onion on the bottom of the crock, then the roast. I sauteed sliced fresh mushrooms and a couple chopped cloves of garlic in EVOO, then added it to the crock before pouring in the soda mixture. To the soda mixture, I added worchestershire sauce to the soda mixture, along with pepper to taste. The end result was almost like a burgundy roast/sauce. (I plan on adding 1/2 c. of red wine to the sauce the next time I make it, to boost the flavor another notch.) To thicken the sauce, I added two tablespoons of cornstarch to 1/4. cup of soda, then poured it into the crock. I paired it with this potato recipe, which I did half red potato and half cauliflower: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Suzys-Mashed-Red-Potatoes/Detail.aspx VERY tasty. The whole family gobbled it up and asked for seconds, even the kids. Both my husband and I were surprized at the end result, which is not what we imagined the roast would taste at all.

This is delicious and really easy. Used diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, and a little extra cola because I thought it might need more liquid. Cooked in slow cooker for 8 hours on low.

This was pretty good. Not memorable, but edible.

Made this tonight - excellent!

Ahhhhhmazing! Made some homemade noodles with it (from this site--Chuck Roast with Homemade Noodles). I didn't brown the meat, just threw everything into the slow cooker and cooked it all day. Very tender, and very flavorful! Thanks!!

turned out excellent make it again

Wow, this came out really good! I followed the recipe exactly with the exception of adding one clove minced garlic (we like garlic). I did cook on low longer than the 2.5 hours in the recipe, but I'm used to cooking roasts very slowly anyway. The roast came out very tender and moist and well flavored. Family loved it. Next time I will make gravy from the liquid on the roast and serve with egg noodles.

Used diet soda and only a tsp. of Taco seasoning. This dish turned out so well, my husband, son, and I became pigs. It was great.

Very good roast. Served on egg noodles. Next time I'll do something to thicken the juice some. Also added some garlic & oregano. It's not a meal w/o garlic.

This was wonderful! I added carrots to the mix and it came out great!

Very good... The entire family loved it and went back for seconds. Used 1/2 cup of pepsi to cut back on carbs (diabetic in the house) I think I will use a diet next time. Can of low salt stewed tomatos and small can of tomato paste. Used a small amount of Cornstarch to thicken gravey. Crock pot for 8 hr on low. Very good easy dinner.

Everyone's favorite

I was a bit adament about trying this recipe. I did out of curiousity more than anything. Although I appreciate the recipe submission this is one I will not be making again.I followed the recipe to the letter but unfortunately I found it to be way to sweet. I will keep making my pot roast the way I always do until another one recipe strikes my fancy....Thanks again for the recipe as others have odviously enjoyed it...:)

I just made this today I placed it in my crock pot for 5-6 hours on high and instead of spagetti sauce I use what another person recommended tomatoe paste,Italin seasoning I added red potatoes and carrots in the last few hours. All turned out nice and tender with lots of juice. I like it and the DH loves it!

This was terrific. I used the crock pot on high about 4 hours. I then took the meat out, cut it into serving size portions. Added 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (mixed with cold water) to the juice which made a nice gravy. Put the meat back in and let it cook another hour or so until everyone was home and ready to eat. Husband and kids (ages 4, 6, and 8) loved it, seconds all around!

Tastes very good, and we liked to put the vegetables/sauce that are cooked with it on top of the meat when serving.

There are only 2 recipes I use for pot roast- this one and the awesome slow cooker pot roast from this site. This recipe is great. I was very suprised the first time I made this because roast is usually one of my least favorite meals- not anymore! Thanks!

Awesome recipe!! Who would have thought so little ingredients could taste soooo good! I didn't have regular cola so I used diet cola (couldn't tell a difference). I cubed the meat for easeier serving and I also added carrots and celery and potatoes. Would HIGHLY recommend this recipe!!
