Coca-Cola Roast — Slow Cooker Recipe

Coca-Cola isn't just for drinking! This is a quick and easy recipe using a can of Coca-Cola!

In the past, I've heard others say they've used a can of Coca-Cola to cook roasts.  In my rush to leave the house a couple of weeks ago, I had less than 5 minutes to get something into my slow cooker. I had a roast in the freezer, some potatoes and carrots, and then, I saw an empty can of Coke sitting on my counter. That's when I had a stroke of genious! I ran and got a full can of Coke and the rest is, well.....history!

Not only is this quick to throw together, but it's easy and inexpensive, too. Chances are, you'll have most of the ingredients laying around your house. (That's always so satisfying when that happens!)

Coca-Cola Chicken

3-4 lb. boneless bottom round steak (or whatever kind of roast you want)
