I have to be honest. I made this the other night and it was an epic FAIL. Instead of cooking it in the crock pot, I tossed it into the oven and went my merry way.

BIG mistake. By the time I got home, it was burnt to a crisp.

So, today, I used my handy-dandy crock pot and it turned out very well. Never again will I attempt to make a crock pot roast with so much SUGAR in a regular pot in the oven.

By the way, I need to give credit where credit is due: the original recipe is courtesy of Robyn at Add a Pinch.

Ingredients:

1 chuck roast (mine was almost 4 pounds)

Dr. Pepper, 1 cup to start with

1 cup water

3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 pound of Melissa’s Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes

Place roast in crock pot and cover with Dr. Pepper and water and Worcestershire sauce. Cook on LOW for about 6 hours. At the end of 6 hours, turn heat to HIGH and add baby potatoes. At this time, you may want to add more Dr. Pepper. Cook for 1 hour.

Remove roast from crock pot and allow to rest for 5 minutes.I had fresh green beans:and of course the baby potatoes:and biscuits:Yum!It was very delish!

Dr. Pepper Crock Pot Roast

We’ve had this tasty roast before. It’s easy to toss everything into the crock pot and then demolish it later. Today, I prepared the roast along with some white rice and corn. Yeah, I know, starchy…not too healthy…but hey, every once in a while it’s alright to throw caution to the wind.

Ingredients:

3 pound chuck roast

1 cup water

2 cups Dr. Pepper

2 shakes of Worcestershire sauce

salt

pepper

2 cloves of garlic

Ready for a long day!

Toss the roast into the crock pot. Pour the water, Dr. Pepper and Worcestershire sauce over the roast; sprinkle with salt and pepper and then mince your garlic on top.

Pop the lid on the crock pot and turn to LOW for at least 7 hours. My roast was frozen, so I set the timer for 9 hours. I know, I know, I’ve heard from a million people that you aren’t supposed to put frozen meat into the crock pot, but I’ve been doing it for YEARS and haven’t had any problems whatsoever. If it makes you nervous to put frozen meat into the crock pot, then please don’t do it.

Serve with yummy sides.
