Pepsi Pot Roast FAQ's
Below you will find answers to a few frequently asked questions about this recipe.
Best Roast for Crock Pot?
A pot roast is typically best made from cuts like chuck, brisket, or bottom round. These cuts are well-suited for slow cooking and will become tender and delicious after hours in the crockpot.
How Long to Cook a Roast in a Crock Pot?
Cook on the low setting for 7-12 hours or on the high setting for 4-6 hours. The exact time will depend on the size and thickness of the roast, as well as your desired level of tenderness. Roast is done when it shreds easily with two forks.

I have cooked and baked numerous recipes over many years.
I followed thiS recipe exactly.
THIS IS THE WORST RECIPE I HAVE TRIED IN MANY YEARS.
DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT, USE THIS RECIPE.
YOU WILL FIND IS DOESN'T WORK, AND YOU WILL BE OUT
FOR YOUR TIME AND EXPENSIVE INGREDIENTS.
I have used a slow-cooker many, many times for pot raost, and wanted
to try something new. Boy, was I disappointed. I wasted my time and money.
The result was flavorless meat. There was no indication that the pepsi and the other
ingredients imparted an iota of flavor (as stated, I followed the recipe exactly).
WHAT A WASTE!
