Tonight's Dinner: Cola Pot Roast

A few weeks ago I resurrected my crockpot, inspired by an interesting cookbook, THE FIX-IT AND FORGET-IT COOKBOOK (linked above).

Tonight we tried one of the more unusual recipes, Cola Roast. I've previously had Ribs in Coca-Cola and liked them, which made me brave enough to try the recipe. It consists of pouring one packet of onion soup mix (I used Lipton's Beefy Onion mix) and two cans of Classic Coke over a roast and letting it cook away in the crockpot all day.

It may sound a bit unusual, but it was really tasty. The marinade juices were good poured over the roast and mashed potatoes. Easy and everybody liked it -- can't ask for more than that!
