Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook Feasting with your slow cooker by Dawn J. Ranck and Phyllis Pellman Good have some very tasty recipes that are worth trying out even if some of them sound kind of disgusting.  I was unsure of these two but my curiosity got the best of me and I have cooked both recipes.  My husband agrees, weird yet very tasty.  So here are the two recipes we enjoy and hope that your curiosity gets the best of you and you try it for yourselves.

 

Pepsi Pot Roast

Makes 6-8 servings

·        3-4 lb. pot roast

·        1 10 ¾ oz.  can of cream of mushroom

·        1 envelope dry onion soup mix

·        16-oz. bottle of Pepsi or other cola

 

1.     Place the meat into your slow cooker

2.     Top with the cream of mushroom soup and onion mix

3.     Pour in the Pepsi

4.     Cover and cook on High for 6 hours

 

 

 

Cola Roast

Makes 8-10 servings

·        3-lb. beef roast

·        1 envelope dry onion soup mix

·        2 cans of cola

 

1.     Place the roast in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the soup

2.     Pour soda over all contents in cooker

3.     Cover and cook on Low 7-8 hours

 

Note: Diet cola does not work well with this recipe.

 

 

                     I do hope that you decide to try these two recipes.  Be sure that you plan early so that either recipe will be down by dinner time and you aren’t waiting for them to finish while the family is groaning with grumbling hungry stomachs.  And be prepared for your house, apartment, condo, wherever you live to smell DELICIOUS.

 

If you like tater tots then here is a recipe for you.  It is another favorite of my husbands and mine.
