Bacon & Cola Crock Pot Roast Beef
I love double duty meals. Make this great roast beef and serve with mashed potatoes night one. Then take the left over beef and add a little bbq sauce and serve sandwiches night 2! Such a time saver

Definitely want to try this one.
Can you throw the roast into the crock pot frozen or should you thaw it first?
u can throw it in frozen. lots of recipes call for u to brown it first but i never do…it always tastes good to me!
I made this over the weekend (with pork) and it was AMAZING. Leftovers became a ‘stroganoff’ with egg noodles because I couldn’t ruin the yummy sauce with bbq. 🙂
Trying to cut calories..can u use diet cola, turkey bacon?
Yes you can.
This was a HUGE hit at our house!!!! YUM!!!!! The bacon is the secret weapon for sure. I measured my drippings becase it seemed like I had a lot in the pan and used 3T and there really wasn’t a lot more. Definately don’t skip out on the bacon.
Husband and daughter loved the recipe as did I. It will now be our go-to roast recipe. I agree the bacon is what makes it. Very simple and very yummy!!!
