Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 beef roast (approximately 2.5 pounds / 1.13 kilograms, such as chuck roast)
Vegetables:
- 45 medium red potatoes, halved
- 34 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 package dry onion soup mix
Liquids and Sauces:
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (12 ounces / 355 milliliters) Coca-Cola (not diet)
Instructions
- Nestle the beef roast into the crock pot, creating a centerpiece for the culinary journey ahead.
- Generously dust the roast with dry onion soup mix, allowing the powdery seasoning to embrace the meat’s surface.
- Artfully distribute chunky potato halves and carrot pieces around the roast, forming a rustic vegetable landscape.
- In a mixing vessel, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and Coca-Cola until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy liquid.
- Cascade the cola-infused sauce over the roast and vegetables, ensuring every morsel receives a delectable coating.
- Secure the crock pot lid and set the cooking mechanism to low, allowing the ingredients to slowly meld and tenderize over 6-8 hours.
- As the cooking cycle concludes, carefully transfer the succulent roast and caramelized vegetables to a serving platter.
- Swirl the remaining cooking liquid to create a rich, velvety gravy that will elevate the dish’s flavor profile.
- Present the roast with its accompanying vegetables, generously drizzling the aromatic gravy across the plate for a final touch of culinary magic.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled chuck roast for maximum tenderness and rich flavor that melts in your mouth.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular onion soup mix with a gluten-free alternative and use a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.
- Enhance the depth of flavor by searing the meat before placing it in the slow cooker, creating a beautiful caramelized exterior that locks in moisture.
- Cut vegetables into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
