A comforting and flavorful Coca Cola Pot Roast slow-cooked to tender perfection with baby carrots, red potatoes, and a savory mix of soups and Worcestershire sauce, creating a rich, slightly sweet gravy that enhances every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 3 lbs chuck roast (can use 34 lbs)
  • 1 lb baby carrots
  • 1 lb red potatoes (quartered, or halved baby red potatoes)
  • 1 white onion (diced large)

Soups and Sauces

  • 1 oz Lipton onion soup mix
  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup
  • 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 12 oz can Coca-Cola

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Place the 3 lbs chuck roast into the bottom of the slow cooker. Add the baby carrots, quartered red potatoes, and diced white onion evenly over and around the roast.
  2. Add Soup Mix and Mushroom Soup: Sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix evenly over the meat and vegetables. Spoon the cream of mushroom soup over the top, spreading it with a spatula or the back of a spoon—don’t worry about perfect coverage as it will cook down and blend with the other ingredients.
  3. Pour Worcestershire Sauce and Coca-Cola: Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce and pour the 12 oz can of Coca-Cola over the entire mixture, which will help tenderize the roast and add sweetness to the dish.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 9 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain consistent temperature and moisture.
  5. Shred the Roast: After cooking, carefully remove the roast onto a plate. Use two forks to shred the beef, discarding any excess fat for a leaner meal.
  6. Degrease the Gravy: Remove any excess fat from the remaining liquid in the slow cooker by blotting with paper towels on the surface. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker to soak up the flavorful gravy.
  7. Serve: Once combined, serve hot with the cooked carrots and potatoes, enjoying the tender, juicy pot roast infused with the unique Coca-Cola flavor.

Notes

  • For a richer gravy, you can thicken the liquid after shredding the roast by cooking it uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes on HIGH.
  • Feel free to substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken for a different flavor profile.
  • Opening the slow cooker lid during cooking is discouraged as it releases heat and extends cooking time.
  • Using a lean chuck roast helps reduce excess fat in the dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
