    Pepsi Pot Roast

    I just love putting dinner in the crock pot in the morning and going about my day and coming home from carpool pick up to the smell of a delicious roast filling the house.

    When it comes to crock pot meals this Pepsi pot roast is one of my favorites. It has a unique flavor, can pair with pretty much anything, and is so easy to throw together.

    Pot Roast Ingredients

    • 3-4 Pound Pot Roast
    • Cream of Mushroom Soup
    • Dry Onion Soup Mix
    • Pepsi

    Three white dishes containing green beans, pot roast, and mashed potatoes.

    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.

    Pot Roast Seasoning Options

    If you are not feeling the Pepsi pot roast, here are a couple of other easy and delicious variations.

    1. Classic Pot Roast Seasoning:
      • 2 teaspoons salt
      • 1 teaspoon black pepper
      • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
      • 1 teaspoon onion powder
      • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
      • 1 bay leaf
      • 2 cups beef broth or red wine

      This seasoning blend provides a classic and savory flavor profile for your pot roast. It's a well-balanced mix of herbs and spices.

    2. Italian-Inspired Seasoning:
      • 2 teaspoons salt
      • 1 teaspoon black pepper
      • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
      • 1 teaspoon dried basil
      • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
      • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spiciness)
      • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes

      This seasoning blend adds an Italian twist to your pot roast with the aromatic herbs and a hint of heat from the red pepper flakes.

      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!
