(Crock) Pot Roast... my first!

To set the scene... it's a Sunday, a lazy Sunday, and thinking ahead to dinner I know that I don't want to spend much time in the kitchen.  Enter Pinterest and a crock pot recipe that I've been wanting to try.  This seemed to be the perfect day to try it out!  The original recipe came from Six Sister's Stuff.  If you've never checked them out, you really should.  They have so many great recipes, a few that I have tried in the past and many more that I hope to try very soon!

 Okay here's what you'll need:

3-4 pound roast
12 oz Coca Cola
3/4 C dark brown sugar 
3/4 C Heinz chili sauce
3/4 C ketchup
3/4 pkg. dry onion soup mix
4-5 new red potatoes
1.5-2 C baby carrots



The directions state to combine all the ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.  I had to modify these slightly as I didn't get it all together until noon and couldn't wait until after 8 pm to eat.  So I put it on high for the first 3 hours and then cooked it on low until 6:30 or so.  It was done and the meat was so tender that I couldn't remove it in one piece.  I probably didn't need to cook it on high for as long as I did, but it tasted wonderful and it's been deemed a keeper!

It really was super easy and received the stamp of approval so I know that this is something I will be making again!  Yummmm!
