Do not be intimidated by the time it takes to prepare a good pot roast.  After you get it simmering, it requires little attention. For a busy weekday meal, make it the night before, and simply reheat the next day. It will taste even better.  Thicken drippings as desired to make gravy.

Cola Pot Roast I

(14.5 tomatoes

cola-flavored carbonated beverage

dry spaghetti sauce mix

onion

celery

salt

garlic salt

beef chuck roast

vegetable oil

In a large bowl, break up tomatoes in their juice.  Stir in cola, spaghetti sauce mix, onion, celery, salt, and garlic salt. Stir until spaghetti sauce mix is dissolved.


In a Dutch oven, over medium high heat, brown meat in oil about 10 minutes on each side. Drain off all fat. Pour tomato mixture over meat. Cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer slowly for about 2 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender.


I only used this recipe because I had all the ingredients on hand, not because I thought it sounded good.  My expectations were low, thinking it would taste like spaghetti flavored pot roast.  Oh my goodness, was I ever wrong.  This is a new family favorite and we eat it at least once a month with mashed potatoes and a salad.  Picky eaters in our family approve as well.  I cook mine in the crock pot on high for 4 or 5 hours.

Superb!  I didn't substitute any ingredients at all.  I did use my crockpot, though.  Just dumped everything and let it go without bothering to brown the meat or anything.  It was soooo good!  Best pot roast I've ever had!  I've made this several times now and it always gets my family's rave reviews!  Couldn't be easier or tastier.

Corrected-This recipe works folks.  My five guinea pigs were all pleased...and that's not easy to do!  Here's the options:  fresh tomatoes rather than stewed, they stew fine during the two hour+ cooking time.  This last time, I used three large juicy red tomatoes, chopped (for those of you gardener-cooks, you will be pleased to note that yellow pear, sweet grape, and heirloom orange all work wonderfully; tomato paste 3-6 TBLS, 1-2 tsp. italian seasoning, + S&amp;P work well instead of a spaghetti packet; 1/4 cup dried minced onion, and add 1/2 cup water or cola instead of fresh onions if there are none available in your pantry.  However if you use fresh onion, chop them nice and small so they cook thoroughly...it's not very nice to chomp into rubbery onion; and I have found it best to use a non-stick dutch oven with a very low simmer(careful those of you with propane),unless you like a black-eyed pot roast! Your other option is of course the crock pot! 8-9 hours on low, 5-6 hours on high, no blackening required. For my LOW CARB cook mates: Count your spaghetti packet as carbs, or use the above tomato paste option; exchange the one cup regular cola with a splenda sweetened cola like Diet Rite, which keep the cola and sweet taste during the simmering.  Neither Aspartame, nutrasweet,or equal will simmer. Enjoy

This was delicious, but I went Mexican instead of Italian.  Instead of dry spaghetti mix, I added dry taco seasoning, deleted the celery and added minced garlic.  When the meat was falling apart, I shredded it and mixed it with green chilis, sour cream, green onions and cheese.  I made enchilada sauce with the remains from the braised meat.  I blended it up with some hot sauce and it was delicious.  I poured the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish and then rolled the meat mixture into tortillas, covering it with the sauce and some extra cheese.  I baked it for about 30 minutes at 350.  Yum!

This was awesome!  I don't even like pot roasts, but I try to make them for my family because they're easy to do.  Mine usually come out dry--even in the crock pot.  This was so moist and had a great flavor.  It does make a lot of gravy, so I'm thinking you could even use a 4 or 5 lb roast with this. As mentioned by some other reviewers, I thought this was going to end up like a roast in spaghetti sauce, but I couldn't have been more wrong.  Give this one a try!  This one will definitely be in my recipe rotation from now on.

Made this the day before( because at the last minute we got a chance to go out to dinner!)
A while before serving I took out meat and cut up and then put back in the sauce. I had also added some lonely carrots when I chopped other veggies for the sauce. There is no taste of spagetti sauce in the end.I also used spicy tomatoes (like Rotel). Boiled new potatoes and then smashed them with garlic and butter and served meat and gravy over them. My husband was in a swoon. He took it to work the next day for lunch and called me after he ate it to compliment me. In 31 years that has never happened before!

This recipe was so easy and delicious.  I baked it in 9x12 glass baking dish, covered tightly with aluminum foil, for 4 hours at 275 degrees and it came out perfect, falling apart and juicy.  When the meat was done, I removed it from the glass dish, strained juices into skillet I browned the meat in, added about 2 tablespoons flour, and made a fantastic gravy.  I would definitely make this again.

This was very good and extremely easy to make. It does have quite a sweet sauce which doesn't go over well with everyone (I made a side of brown gravy to placate the finicky). I also found the sauce it a tiny bit salty - a little goes a long way. All in all a great recipe and may try it again using ribs instead of the roast.

This was great! I didnt have the spaghetti mix, so took someones advice on using tomato paste + italian dressing, and it worked out fine! I also used carrots instead of celery (didnt have any)Pretty easy, too.

Even though this recipe requires more than two hours, I find it easy and quick.  I don't have to stand by the stove for two hours, it only takes about half an hour to prepare and the remainder of the cooking time can be used to prepare other dishes (potatoes, bread, etc.).  The time can also be used to fix up the place before dinner.  I also like that I only use two large dishes one to mix the sauce, and the pot to brown/cook it.  Most of the people I served it to, including the kids liked the roast because it was not too spicy, and the flavor of the meat was not overpowered by any one ingredient.

Let me preface this by saying that I am NOT a fan of pot roast - at all!  Hubby is tho, so I gave this a try and was blown away by how good it was!!  I didn't make any changes except I did add about a TBL of W.shire sauce (probably didn't make a difference).  I did brown the roast and then put it in the slow cooker and poured the sauce over it.  Set it on low and let it go for 8 hrs.  It did worry me when DH came home and said "mmm smells like spaghetti" but it definitely did not taste like it. It came out perfect! The sauce was not too sweet at all and had a nice tang to it - almost sweet/sour but not quite.  Dh made an open face sandwich the next day for lunch and loved it.  This will definitely be made and shared again!
UPDATED: I have made this several times now and have landed on my fav. modifications. 1)Heat 2 TBL oil in dutch oven and while it's heating, add 3 or 4 whole, peeled cloves of garlic.  Remove when they start to brown This replaces the garlic salt. 2)Salt, pepper and flour the roast before browning.  Remove meat and place in crockpot. I omitted the rest of the salt. 3) De-glaze dutch oven with about 1/3 cup good red wine making sure to scrap up the bits on the bottom. Pour over the meat. 4) In the same dutch oven, mix your tomatoes, spag. sauce seasoning, cola and veggies.  Pour over meat and set crockpot on low for about 7 hours or high for about 5. 5) During last hour, add baby carrots and new potatoes if desired.  
This is now a fav of our family!!

Believe my minor changes/additions brought this recipe to a 5.5 - you must try it!   Used the full 12oz bottle of Coke, replaced onion with red onion, used less salt (1/4 tsp), replaced garlic salt with 2 lg. garlic cloves, finely minced, used Italian stewed tomatoes, added 3 TB tomato paste to cut sweet of pkgd spaghetti sauce, 1/4 c. Swanson's beef broth, and one 1" x 1" bay leaf.  Tied kitchen-twine around outside edge of a 3-lb. chuck roast before browning in a 5-qt. Dutch oven.  Added all ingredients to the pot, brought to a boil then, covered and cooked in oven at 325 for 2-1/4 hrs (45 mins/lb).  The gravy didn't require any thickening. Served with linguine and oven-roasted broccoli with sliced garlic and chili-oil.    I very much like this pot roast and every dinner guest requested the recipe so, I send many thanks to the contributor!!

yummy! i added a whole can of cola for more gravy &amp; the flavor was wonderful-a keeper-thank you

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...:) 

Put all the ingredients in a slow cooker for 8 hours...yum! Turned out great!

Made this pot roast last night, put in some worchestersire sauce, &amp; 3 minced cloves of garlic, served sauce over mashed potatoes, and sauted mushrooms, loved it!

Very good. I usually make pot roasts with a brown gravy so this was a nice change.  This had a VERY good flavor and my house smelled wonderfuly all day.  Will definitely keep in the rotation!

This was excellent!  I didn't have the pkg of dry spaghetti mix so I used 2 TBLS of Italian seasoning; also I left out the celery.  I am so glad to find something other than onion soup mix &amp; mushroom soup!!

This recipe was awesome.  I will be making it all the time.  I used a crock pot but everything else was the same.

This wasnt for me. I was hoping for one of the flavors to come threw. I liked this better with spagetti and parm cheese than on top of mashed potatoes, had it both ways. It wasnt bad but I could think of better ways to use up my chuck roast. Try it you might like it.

Just made this yesterday.  Thumbs up all around.  I did it in the slow cooker with a 3 pound sirloin tip.  Used Garlic granules, no extra salt, a little pepper.  2 hours high setting, 4 hours low.  Put baby carrots in last two hours and added flour mixed with a little water and gravy the last hour.  Mashed potatoes and asparagus rounded out the meal.  Will be making mini meat pies with leftovers tonight in muffin tins, using biscuit dough for the crust.  Thanks for the post!

Took a long time to make but I think that is normal for this dish.

I will try to give as good of a review as I can.. considering my husband only heard me talking about this recipe and decided he would make it. hee hee He used a jar of spagetti sauce, a can of diet coke, dehydrated onion, garlic powder, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crock pot, roast on top the other ingredients on top of that, he then cooked it on high for 6 hours. Considering he didn't even know what the exact recipe was, it was pretty tasty and definitely tender and juicy. (next time I will make it myself the correct way) lol lol Definitely a keeper, he used a chuck roast. I had to smile... he was trying to please me? If he had only listened when I was reading the recipe to him last night? hahahaha

I did not follow the recipe to the letter. I had no stewed tomatoes.  I used crushed tomatoes instead.  I also used the substitute for dry spaghetti sauce(tomato paste/Italian seasoning/salt/pepper.)  I also seared the meat for 4 minutes on each side as well.  We also used the leftovers to make a shredded meat wrap the next day.  Note:  My wife got a bowl of the sauce and used it as a soup, it was that good!

Fantastic recipe. Only change I made was to remove the roast after browning, then in the same pot, sautéing the celery, onions and garlic before adding other ingredients. Then put the roast back in and cooked it following the written directions. It tasted too sweet after adding all the ingredients so I didn't think I would like it, but after cooking it was a great flavor. Everyone loved it. Thanks for posting.

Wow. who knew. I did use DP instead of coke its what I had.. This was wayy tender! try it!

Absolutely wonderful!  I browned my roast lightly then put it in the oven with all the other ingredients on 275 degrees; it cooked for 4 hours and the bone literally fell out of it.  So tender, so tasty.  A little rice and a salad or green beans and you have a great meal!

Mmmmmm. Today will be my 3rd time making this within a month! My only suggestion is to do it in the crockpot. It's sooo much better that way. I've done it both that way and in the oven. Also, I've subsituted the onion for dried and the celery for celery salt (I just used celery salt instead of regular salt.) It's a must try!

The sauce and beef juices make an excellent gravy.  This is excellent as a leftover too.

This wasn't the best recipe. It didnt quite fit our tastes. It was easy though.

Instead of braising the meat on the stove, I roasted it in the oven at 350 degrees for a little over 2 hours. I really liked the way the cola tightened up the sauce giving it a sweet flavor and almost chutney like consistency. My issue with the recipe was I thought it tasted too much like the spaghetti seasoning. I would try the recipe again but maybe with a different kind of seasoning packet.

This was AWESOME. I put it into a roaster and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 2.5 hours. It was delicious.

WOW!!  I could not believe how good this was.  We had a chuck roast and an abundance of tomatoes from the garden.  My work-at-home husband pulled this together.  He skipped browning the roast, omitted the vegetable oil and celery which I don't like. He followed everything else.  He cooked it in the oven at 280 degrees for about 3 1/2 hours.   We served it over rice. We will definitely make again.  There is a lot of liquid with this.  It would make a great stew for a cold winter night.

This is my first attempt at making a roast and it was GREAT! My picky husband even ate the leftovers (which he never does). I omitted the celery and instead added 3 medium sized potatoes (cut into quarters) and 2 sliced carrots. I did not use spaghetti sauce mix. Instead, I added 1/4 teaspoon each of basil, oregano and parsley. The meat came out very tender! I will definitely make this again!!!

Fantastic idea, using soda to tenderize the meat even more so.  Melts in your mouth! Thank you

I made this with venison steaks and it was fantastic!  The sauce made the venison really tender and minimized the gamey taste.  Everyone loved it.

This is a wonderfully flavorful and easy pot roast.  Great for a busy work day where you can mix it up and put it in the crock pot.  When I make it on weekdays, I skip the browning, put the meat in the crock pot, pour the remaining ingredients on top, then cook on low 6-8 hours while I'm at work.  When I read the ingredients, I wondered about the tomatoes and spaghetti sauce mix, but it all makes for a great flavor. Not too overpowering.  Makes a wonderful gravy and I also used the sauce as a base for beef soup.  Delicious!

Great recipe, even my very picky daughter loves it, and she hates traditional pot roast.

A little too salty for me, but it was easy, and I would make it again.

2/1/11 - We both liked it a lot!  Easy to make!

I did not use onion or celery in the recipe and cooked it is the crock pot for about 9 hours. Everyone loved it thanks.

My husband said this is his favorite roast recipe.  I didn't have the spaghetti seasoning so I used italian diced tomatoes and added some oregano, basil, and marjoram. I also omitted the salt and used garlic powder instead since some people felt this recipe was a bit salty. I didn't even brown the roast, I just threw in all in a crock pot on the lowest setting for 8 hours and it fell apart because it was so tender.

This turned out wonderfully. I used bottom round roast and instead of the sauce packet, I used 3 TBSP of the Dry Spaghetti Sauce Mix recipe found on this website. I slow cooked in the crockpot for 6 hours on high. It turned out tender and delicious!

This is great in the crockpot, and I add potatoes, peppers and baby carrots.  Everyone always wants this recipe, and are surprised to see that cola is in it.  The spaghetti mix, and cola make the recipe.  I get it all ready the night before and start it up on Sundays before church, and it is the BEST tasting roast ever.

I used the exact recipe (sans browning) in my slow cooker on high for 6 hours, and served it with rosemary gravy made from some of the savory juices it produced, along with roasted/sliced/herbed potatoes... my husband of 5 years nearly proposed again.  Next time I plan to substitute the spaghetti packet with herbs I already have, and use fresh tomatoes and tomato paste, and add sliced carrots.  After the majority of the roast is gone, the vegetable beef soup left behind on day 3 will be wonderful.

I never have known how to make a decent pot roast in the crock pot although I have tried for years. Thanks for the help. It was terrific and SOOO easy.

I've been using this recipe for awhile but never got a chance to review it.  It was the first pot roast I made that my DH asked to keep on our regular menu, and it has become a quick and easy dinner to fix for company with two small children. I used to brown the roast but now I skip this step b/c of time, and it still comes out great. I still rub the roast with a small amount of Montreal Steak Seasoning, add Tbsp of minced garlic, substitute dried oregano and basil for the spaghetti sauce, and use just a pinch of salt. I throw it in the crockpot for 6-7 hours and even the cheap cuts melt in your mouth! Thanks for the recipe!

This Cola Pot Roast was delicious.  My family really loves the combination of flavors.  I think I might use just a little less cola next time due to the sweetness.   Thank you for the great recipe.

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.

Our supermarket didn't have any 3lb chuck left and didn't feel like waiting around, so I grabbed a pot roast. This recipe worked well, I can't wait to try with a chuck. The pot roast was a little dry on the ends.

All I can say is wow!!  I can't imagine making pot roast any other way after this.  The sauce is incredible - we all wanted to eat it like soup.  I made just a few minor changes.  I added 2 cloves of chopped garlic, 1 small can of tomato paste and about 1/2 C of beef broth to the stewed tomato mix.  When done I thickened with a bit of corn starch and water - didn't take much because it was already a nice consistancy.  I served this with mashed red potatoes, crusty toasted french bread and a nice green salad.  Everyone had smiles of contentment on their faces after this comfort meal. Oh and I did use diet coke - just amazing - I highly recommend this recipe!  

Made this in the crockpot and the only adjustment that I made was to use minced garlic instead of garlic salt and I omitted the salt and seasoned to taste before serving. The next time I make this I will add another can of stewed tomatoes minus the juice and will serve it over polenta.

I followed some of the other suggestions and just threw the roast in the slow cooker without browning it. I put it on low from 8AM to 5PM and it was perfect. I  also made the mistake of buying the wrong cola - Black Cherry Vanilla, but it turned out just fine.

OMG...was this good! At first I wasn't sure how it would taste since I have never used dry spaghetti mix in a roast before. However, this is the best roast I have ever made! I cooked a 4 pound roast and every bit of it is gone.....for 5 people! Super recipe...thanks for sharing!

This works well in a crock pot.  I get it started in the morning and by the time everyone gets home in the evening...mmmm pot roast.

This is a great alternative to the "standard" pot roast. The cola &amp; spaghetti sauce give it a zippy flavor, and the gravy it makes is excellent! The only modifications I make is that I add diced carrot to the onion, celery &amp; tomatoes mixture, then after browning I cook it in a Crock Pot. Last, I stir in a little flour slurry to thicken the gravy and blend it with a stick blender so it is a smoother texture. This makes a lot of gravy, which is excellent over potatoes. I save the extra gravy and use it over meatloaf later in the week. Excellent pot roast!

Made it exacly like the recipe but put it in the crockpot as other suggested. Cooked up egg noodles and poured the sauce over them. It was excellent. We loved it! Thanks so very much!

This was so easy and soooo good.  I will make this again very very soon.  Next time I'm throwing it in the crock pot.

I made this recipe the other day on a whim. Did not have time to make it in a slow cooker, but made it on the stove in 3 hours it was the best, and I repeat, the best pot roast I have ever had and my family raved about it and I have passed the recipe on to about 6 other people.  It is so amazingly spectacular so much so I would serve it for a special dinner for guests. The only other thing I added was cut up carrots ( big chunks)  oh my were they ever flavorful.  this one is a winner!!!!!!!

Very good recipe, nice flavor, and easy to make.

This is the best recipe ever.  We love it.  I just dump everything in the crock pot and cook on low for eight hours.  The roast just falls apart.  I gave this recipe and a crock pot to a friend for a bridal shower gift.  Everyone who tries it, loves it.

My first successful roast. Good flavor and very tender.

I followed the recipe exactly and it was a bust. My husband took one bite and would not eat the rest. I "could" eat it but did not like it. I tossed it out!  It did not taste like spaghetti, however it was too sweet. If you don't like sweet meat dishes, this is not for you.   I was EXTREMELY dissapointed!

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!

I liked it.  This recipe adds a new twist to an old favorite because of the different ingredients that I’ve never used before in a pot roast.  It’s hard to mess up this type of pot roast so long as you simmer the meat, covered and on a low setting, in a little liquid for 2-1/2 to 3 hours.  I prefer going 3 hours.  At times, I just use water, salt &amp; pepper, and one onion cut into several pieces and it turns out very good.  Add some fresh baby carrots, canned green beans, and some cut up potatoes during the last 45 to 60 minutes of cooking and you have yourself a nice vegetable beef stew after you cut up the meat and return it to the pot.  When done, I usually add salt and pepper again to taste.  Fresh green beans are even better but I allow for at least a good 2 hours of cooking time for them.  Sometimes I do start off by browning the meat in oil.  Other times, when I’m short on time and don’t feel like dealing with the mess and splatter, I skip the browning and just go straight to simmering.  I think it turns out good either way though I’m sure some would disagree with skipping this step. Though it takes several hours to cook, pot roast makes a wonderful meal and is fairly easy to make with plenty of room for experimentation.

We really enjoyed this!  It's super easy and super tasty!  It was yummy  with mashed potatoes.

This was my Very First pot roast I have ever attempted.  I do not cook very often and I am slowly starting to change that around... but this was simple to put together!  I browned the meat on both sides in oil for about 7 min and then put it in the crock pot on low for about 7 hours.  I replaced the garlic salt with garlic powder and added regular salt to taste once served.  I also through in some chopped baby carrots and potatoes during the last 2 1/2 hours.  Came out perfect and my husband was Pleasantly Surprised.....def will be making this for company in the future :)

This is really good- I even used diet RC Cola &amp; it was delicious! I wonder how many carbs I saved? Thanks for submitting!

I made this as part of our Christmas dinner this as an "extra" meat item in case there wasn't enough ham.  Well, guess what was left?  The ham!  Everyone LOVED this, even my picky mother in law. I was a little hesitant to make this what with the odd ingredients, but wowza!  Fantastico!  Que rico!  The gravy leftovers we were fighting over to pour over our rice the next day. This one is going into my hall of fame for family favorites. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!

great crock pot recipe, used chile seasoning instead of spaghetti seasoning and it turned out fantastic!!!  Definitely a keeper

Wife:
   Tasty-delicious~! ^_^

Husband-Housekeeper:
  Was too lazy to defrost meat.  Mixed ingredients together in the crockpot.  threw 2.5 pound frozen chunk of meat in crockpot and cooked for 5 hours on high.  Because of warnings about salt, I just added the amount I would normally add to a roast and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt.  It tasted great (as good as my normally wonderful roast but without the exceptionally unhealthy brown gravy).  A lot easier to make too.

tip: cook until the sauce is reasonably thick.  Most sauces taste sub-par if you don't thicken them enough.

Good!
We added in potatoes and mushrooms which we like. The meat wasn't as tender as I've had, but that might have just been the cut.

Great recipe - made a soup (added noodles) with the leftovers

I made this recipe really easy - I put the roast in the crock pot, covered in seasoning and poured on Italian-style stewed tomatoes and part of a can of Coke Zero.  No extra seasonings or onions or celery.  Cooked it on low all day at work and it was falling apart when I came home.  That rates a 5 in my book!

This was okay. To be fair I did use double the amount of stewed tomatoes the recipe called for. I think I will try to put the mexican spin on it next time like the previous reveiwer did.

Great recipe, DH gave it 5 stars, and I agree because it was great- the meat was SOOO tender.  

I didn't have celery, so I didn't use it.  I used some potatoes instead (next time I'll use more) and the substitution was great.  

Also, I didn't start it on time to use the crock pot, and didn't want to fuss with it on the stove top (toddler lives here too!), I put it in 9x13 dish with foil tightly covering in a 275 degree oven for about 3 1/2 hours.  The results were great.

This is a recipe that is geat AND easy!  What more could a busy family ask for??  Thanks for the submission!

Sooooo easy and soooo tasty.  Even my nine year old said, "It's awesome and the only way I'll eat peas!"
I didn't have celery or regular cola so I added a can of whole corn and Lesueur peas in the last 15 to 20 minutes.
I also had some baby carrots I threw in along with some cubed potatoes.  I used 3/4 cup of diet coke and 1/4 cup of red wine.  The leftovers are even better!!
Thanks for an great recipe! ;)

Easy to make, but I was not impressed with this at all like I thought I would be, from all the other reviews.

I'm not sure what I expected but this wasn't it. I put it in the crock pot but it came out more like a vegetable soup without all the veggies. My DH thought it was okay, but I won't make it again.

Awesome!  I am not a big fan of pot roast, but my husband likes to try different recipes, so I thought I might as well try this.  I made a couple changes.  I used Italian stewed tomatoes as someone else suggested, added  1-1/2 cups of Diet Coke, less salt, only 1/2 teaspoon.  I omitted the garlic salt completely, added 4 cloves of crushed garlic, large onion, 3 stalks of chopped celery.  I was afraid that it wasn't going to thicken up, but it did.  I served it on top of brown rice, excellent!!!!  The next night I added 1/2 can of french onion soup and again over rice.  Will definitely make this again and share the recipe with others.

This was pretty good.  Not memorable, but edible.

deeeeeeeelish,started out thinking it wasn't gonna taste that great,but turned out awesome!! 6 hours in a slow cooker and the meat just fell apart!!

This recipe is so much nicer than doing the roast in a slow cooker.  It's tender and the sauce is awesome.  I use garlic powder instead of salt and the recipe is just as nice.

Yummy, yummy, is all I can say. The aroma while the roast is cooking is wonderful. Perfect for a chilly mid-west day. Thanks for the recipe, I will pass is on to all my friends.

Best roast beef I've ever made. The wife even admits that it's better then her moms!!

My EXTREMELY picky husband loved it.  This was one of the few recipes that I have tried that did not go to waste.  We made a gluten free version and it was fantastic.  Compliments to the chef!

I can't get over how great this was! This might be the best roast I have ever made! I literally had no left overs. The changes I made were few, but I did salt, pepper, then flour the meat before browning it. I transferred it to a crock pot, deglazed the pan I browned it in, and poured it over the meat. I didn't have any stewed tomatoes, so I chopped three tomatoes up and I think the fresh tomatoes really added something to this recipe. It was a very busy day, so I just threw in some potatoes instead worrying about making mashed potatoes as I usually do. Thank you for submitting this recipe, and for suggesting it to me.

Very yummy.  My husband loved it! Serve this with bread so you can sop up every last drop of the delicious gravy.

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!

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.  

I was looking for something easy to do with a chuck roast and this worked out well. After browning it, I covered and put it in the oven at 275 for 4 hrs. I added 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup to thicken. Even my somewhat picky 9 yr old wanted seconds.

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.
