Dr Pepper roast

[Rebel SS]

Picked up three roasts today, made me think of this. I use this quite a bit......have also done a root beer and Coca-cola roast.



Crock pot Dr. Pepper Roast

1- 2-3lb beef chuck roast
2 cups Dr. Pepper
1 cup beef broth (or water and beef bouillon made strong)
1 pkg dry Onion Soup Mix
1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

Set crack pot on high while you prep the food. I use a 6 quart slow cooker, but anything 5 quart and above would work well for this recipe.Put your roast in the slow cooker. Combine all other ingredients and stir gently to combine. Pour over the top of the roast. Place the lid on the slow cooker and reduce temperature to LOW.Cook on LOW for about 8 hours. Increase temperature to HIGH and cook an additional 2 hours. When roast is done, pull out of slow cooker and shred meat, discarding any gristle.Use a ladle and a small strainer to use some of the juices in the slow cooker to make a gravy. I strained about 1 cup of liquid, then in a separate bowl, put 1 TBSP of cornstarch and 2 TBSP of liquid together. Stir until combined, then add the cornstarch mixture to the remaining cup of strained liquid. Whisk together. Microwave for about 1 minute, stopping at 30 seconds to whisk again. Gravy should be thickened. Ladle some over the meat to serve.

Thanks Reb.  I made something like that before and it was good.  Put the meat shredded on a hoagi bun.  good luck.

Nuttin' like a pulled pigger sammich! I'll do that and just nix the gravy, and substitute BBQ sauce for the beef mixture.... shred it, then I'll return it to crockpot and mix it with the BBQ juices.

The acid helps tenderize it, and the flavorings make it taste good.  Of course too much makes it too sweet. 

[Rebel SS]

The sweetness pretty much cooks off. Like the alcohol in cooking wine. Ya ever use Coca-cola, instead of Dr. Pepper, Delmar? Makes me think of a song......from Mel to Del.

Really? Not sure about this step.  "Set crack pot on high while you prep the food."
