Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Slow cooker (crock pot)
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Knife and cutting board

Ingredients

• 1 roast beef of your choice (use the size of the roast and the amount of vegetables you need to feed your family. I used a 2.5-pound roast beef)
• 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
• 1 packet of dry onion soup mix
• 1 can of Coke
• Red potatoes, cut in half
• Carrots, cut into pieces

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Place the beef in the slow cooker and sprinkle with the dry onion soup mix.
2. Arrange the potatoes and carrots around the roast.
3. In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with the Coke, and pour it over the roast.
4. Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 6 to 8 hours. The longer the cooking time, the more tender the meat will be.

Tips for Success

• For the most tender results, avoid opening the slow cooker during cooking. This helps maintain a consistent temperature.
• Choose a well-marbled roast for extra flavor and tenderness.

Additional Tips or Variations

• If you prefer, you can substitute the Coke with your favorite soda. Just make sure it’s not a diet version, as the sugar is key for tenderizing the meat.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or onions for additional flavor.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

While the exact nutritional content will vary based on the size of your roast and the specific ingredients used, you can expect a hearty serving of protein and a moderate amount of carbohydrates from the potatoes and carrots. Remember, this dish is also rich in flavor, thanks to the unique blend of ingredients.
