Easiest Crockpot Beef Roast



Easiest Crockpot Beef Roast 

Crockpot INGREDIENTS
  • 1 beef roast
  • 1 envelope onion soup mix
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (optional)
  • 1 can of soda
Crockpot INSTRUCTION

I used Sprite for the soda. I've read about people using Coke and GingerAle as well. This was fantastic! I served it with plain white rice but it would also be good with egg noodles or mashed potatoes to soak up the "gravy" like juice. Enjoy the crockpot recipe of beef roast !
