This was wonderful and the recipe is very versatile. My husband said that this was one of those wonderful meals that reminded him of his grandmother. And I'm a very good cook and cook a lot so he's used to good food - so this was the ultimate compliment. I "pantry cook" with whatever I have on hand so changes I made were: used more carrots, no celery, used a packet of McCormick Pot Roast Seasoning rather than brown gravy and onion soup mixes. I used two tri-tip roasts for a total of 3.5 pounds and rubbed them with kosher salt, pepper, and herbs, then seared in olive oil. Placed them in a crockpot, added all the other stuf as directed, cooked on high for 2 hours and then low for another 7. After that I ladled a good amount of the liquid into a saucepan and stirred in a bit of flour water, cooking over med-high heat until gravy was thickened. Served with brussel sprouts and Mom's Zucchini Bread (from allrecipes.com) Delicious!

This was GREAT! I seared the roast first and added potatoes. My husband declared it in his top 5 of meals and my kids loved it too! I sent my friends this recipe link and 3 have tried it and loved it too!

I loved the gravy but thought the meat was too dry. I wanted to reduce the cooking time by an hour but then decided against it. When it was finished, my boyfriend made the comment "I thought it was supposed to fall apart?" however, he did eat everything on his plate and said it was good. He especially liked the gravy. I added carrots, fresh mushrooms, and potatoes around the roast. The mushrooms made it so much better, but the other veggies were not done enough to eat. I'm looking for another recipe to do something with the leftovers (after completely cooking the carrots & potatoes). Maybe roast beef sandwiches with some of the meat and a beef stew with the veggies and leftover gravy.

it was good but not as good as another "easy" potroast on this site. Family raved, so give it a try, but my preference is the other.

Best Roast I've Ever Eaten! Hands down!! I even improvised on the recipe. I didn't leave out the "secret ingredient". Actually, I used Diet Cola (what I had on hand) and it didn't even leave an after taste. Ha! Ha! Definitely a recipe to add to my ever growing box.

Made this roast on the weekend, and now again tonight! My family loves it! This time I left out the carrots, celery, and gravy mix. I added a package of beef oxo, and used a little cornstarch at the end. I think the gravy tasted even better this time! I also made egg noodles instead of potatoes this time. And it went over well. As another person suggested, tried the JP's big daddy biscuits from this site. Best recipe I've tried yet!

This recipe is awesome! It comes out perfect every time, and the remaining juices make a wonderful gravy. It's the recipe that we want, when we crave roast!

All I can say is WOW, I'm actually rating this one before it's even done cooking! It's been in the slow cooker for a few hours now. The smell is alone is making us go crazy. I have been snacking on it here and there to taste the celery and the gravy. I actually had to add more celery to so there would be some left in there by dinner time. I also added a jar of sliced mushrooms to the it as well. Instead of packaged gravy I made my own from bouillon cubes. I added a parsnip I had in the fridge and a few onions quartered. I will be making some fresh mashed potatoes to use the extra gravy on for sure. If I have any issues with this recipe after dinner tonight I will edit the review to reflect it but from what I can tell this one is a sure winner and will only deserve more praise.

WOW!! I was worried when I was mixing the cola mixture, b/c my I had a $10 roast(Hawaii has expensive meat) but my end result was WONDERFUL. I put it in the crockpot, and added the whole packet of gravy(mushroom gravy) and some potatoes. The meat just fell apart, so tender and jucy. My husband said he couldn't tell there was cola in the meat, but the veggies he could. He said to make again!!

My husband is a huge pot roast fan, so I'm always on the lookout for a new twist. This was excellent. I added chopped potatoes with the carrots. I'm sure the sodium is out the roof with the mixes and the soup, but the taste is wonderful and the meat was very tender. Thanks for a great recipe!

I totally changed this so..don't know if I should rate it. First..I made this in a slowcooker on low for 8 hrs. I took the meat out and added 2tbs flour and 2 tbs butter and whipped gravy..then added 2 cps milk. The dish was very good and I served it with mashed potatoes. Yum

I put this in the crock pot and cooked on high for 9 hours and it turned out great. The only thing I will do next time is not add so much celery.

To tone down the sweetness, I increased the garlic to 2 cloves and added about 1/4 cup red wine which also helps soften the meat. It was gobbled up by my guests!

Wow, is all I can say. This is the best roast I have ever had. The first time I made this recipe I used cream of celery soup becasue that is all I had and it turned out great. My hubby asks me to make this at least once a week. I will never use another recipe for a roast again!

This was AMAZING! Everyone loved it. I was a little put off by the thought of cooking it in cola, but I was so pleasantly surprised. I've always tried and failed miserably to make roast like my grandma's - I finally did it!
