This tender slow cooked Coca Cola Pot Roast recipe is a Sunday supper favorite. Serve it with your favorite sides and some biscuits or hot rolls to soak up the flavorful gravy.
Easy Coca Cola Pot Roast Recipe
This Coca-Cola pot roast takes me back to my Sunday dinner roots. To make a pot roast in a crockpot, you're certain to have a tender and succulent meal to enjoy. Rub the pot roast on all sides with oil, then season with steak seasoning. Center it in the crockpot then arrange the carrot and onion wedges around the edge of the roast. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce on top. In a small bowl whisk together the Coca cola with the gravy mix and herbes de provence until dissolved. Pour over the roast, add the potatoes then cover and cook low and slow.
How to Make the Best Coca Cola Pot Roast
A tasty Sunday Dinner is the perfect way to bring a family around the kitchen table to share a meal, memories and family conversations. From treasured family recipes or newly created traditions to tips on how to involve the whole family in cooking. You may also like to try:
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Coca Cola Pot Roast: One 4 pound chuck roast, Coca Cola, carrots, onion, olive oil, steak seasoning, black pepper, garlic, herbes de provence, Worcestershire sauce, one packet herb gravy or brown gravy mix and golden or russet potatoes.
- Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A 6 quart or similar size slow cooker, sharp knife and cutting board, vegetable peeler, small bowl, whisk, measuring cups and spoons.
- This recipe is designed to be made with full sugar Coke. You can adapt using sugar free if that's your preference.
- Steak seasoning comes in many flavors. Montreal or Chicago are the most readily available. It's important to use a really good one as it's a main seasoning for the roast in this recipe. Keep in mind that the gravy mix will also add sodium so adjust the amount depending on the sodium content of the seasoning used.
- You can use one pound of baby carrots in place of peeled carrots.
- You could omit the cubed potatoes if you prefer mashed potatoes alongside pot roast.
- At the end of cooking, you can remove the roast and vegetables to a platter and add 1 or 2 teaspoons of Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce to the drippings to add color to the gravy.
- Side dishes to serve with pot roast: Since there are vegetables cooked right along with the roast, you may like to make a Seven Layer Salad in advance for a timesaver. You may also like to make a batch of No Knead Yeast Rolls.
- Store Coca Cola Pot Roast chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in single servings in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the gravy or a small amount of beef stock for moisture.

I followed this recipe to the tee, except i had no packet of dry beef gravy so used a jar of beef gravy,
otherwise had all the other ingredients. The vegetables turned out good, but the roast chuck beef turned out to tough and chewing it to death was not fun. I had it in a slow cooker for almost nine hours and although the meat fell apart when I served it, it was just to chewy to eat. I plan to put the beef into a food processor and make a lot of beef pate. What else could I do? Can you tell me why the beef which was very expensive did not become tender to eat?

I'm not certain why the chuck roast you got wasn't a good one. At 9 hours it certainly wasn't overcooked, if that's what you're asking. I've cooked chuck roast in a slow cooker for as long as 10 hours more than once. It could be how it the actual meat was butchered not the instructions in this recipe.

This "old-time recipe brings back a lot of good memories when I cooked this all the time in the 80s. If you like sauerkraut, use a pork roast on top of kraut, dry onion soup on top and just a smidge of water (about an1/8 cup. I also add a little garlic.....optional. great site

This looks absolutely amazing! I love doing my roasts in the slow cooker. It's so convenient and it always comes out nice and tender and flavorful. Can't wait to try this!
Melissa
Thanks!
foreman
if cooked on high how many hours?
Melissa
Generally speaking it should take 1/2 the time. It can depend on your slow cooker, though. Older slow cookers cook slower, newer slow cooker cook faster.
