Cola Pot Roast

This delightfully simple pot roast works well with beef or venison.  The acid from the potatoes and cola help to break down the meat so it is fork tender.  Makes 8 servings if you use the 1.5 lb roast.  The sauce will do well with up to 3 lbs and goes well over pasta.

  1 1/2 Lb Beef                                                                          1 Tsp Onion Powder

  2 Tbl Oil                                                                                  1 Tsp Garlic Powder

  1 Can Tomatoes (14 Oz)                                                          1 1/2 Tsp Salt

  1 C Pepsi                                                                                 1 Tsp Pepper

  2 Tbl Italian Seasoning                                                           

Brown meat in oil for ten minutes on each side; remove to crockpot. Add tomatoes to pan, do not drain.  Add remaining ingredients, stirring to combine spices.  Pour over meat. Cover; simmer until meat is tender.   Serve with noodles.
