I’m having a love affair with my slow cooker, likely due to the autumn weather and wanting more comfort food. I was going to make a traditional roast in the oven yesterday then realized I had not made this recipe in over a year. It, hands-down, makes the best gravy ever! And, it’s super easy.
Slow Cooker Pepsi Pot Roast
Recipe type: Entree
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pot roast (frozen or thawed)
- 1 can Pepsi (you can use Coke too of course)
- 1 pkg onion soup mix
- 1 can mushroom soup
- 2 cups water
- sliced mushrooms (optional)
Instructions
- Place roast in slow cooker first, then top with remaining ingredients.
- Mix to ensure the onion soup is dissolved, cover, and you're done!
- Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 7.
- The Pepsi helps to tenderize the meat and sweetens the broth for your gravy which, I'm telling you, is the best gravy ever! Enjoy!
That looks yummy for the tummy 😉
Oh goodness that looks delicious!

Looks delicious…can’t wait to try!
I love making roast in the crock pot. I normally throw a big roast in there with some potatoes, carrots, celery and some seasonings.
YUM!
I wish I still had my crockpot! My son and daughter broke mine 🙁 (Don’t ask, sigh..)
This looks so easy!
I have a recipe like this only it’s with root beer.
Keep having that love affair with your crock pot. Anything to keep me from standing over the stove!!!! And I’m an awful cook, so when you give recipes like this, you have to tell me “buy a “such-and-such” kind of roast” because I have no idea what kind of roast you buy for this. But yeah, keep on having that love affair – I want to see more crock pot recipes.
You got it Deborah! I’m like you when it comes to baking, I need things precise and in detail or I screw it up (so basically I don’t bake!) As for the roast itself – when you’re putting it in the slow cooker all day it doesn’t much matter because it gets so tender by the end, which is great! I like Sirloin Tip but honestly, any work in a slow cooker. 😉
That’s what can make slow cooker cooking FRUGAL – no hot oven going all day, and you can use a less expensive cut of meat and still have a delicious meal at the end of the day!!
Interesting….
I’ve made carnitas with Sprite, so why not roast with Pepsi? 🙂
Love using my slow cooker! Put something in there in the morning and just like magic dinner’s done and the whole house smells fantastic when you get home. Yum.
I have made pepsi roast before it’s delish!
I’ve got it in the slow cooker now. I can’t wait to try it tonight! It sounds super delicious. 🙂
Awesome, let me know what you think, especially the gravy!
Does the gravy thicken up? If not, how would you make it thicker?
I always add flour to thicken the gravy, I think this one needs a bit of thickening as well. 😉
Ok awesome! Cooking this right now…thanks for the tip and recipe! 🙂
I might have to try this using Coke. LOL We’re a Coca Cola house!
Mmmm this sounds so good (and easy is always good too!)
thanks for re-posting…will definitely give it a try…always love to have easy, not time consuming recipes and great to have reviews from other mamas!
Looks easy and yummy. Thanks
Sounds amazing!
I love Slowcooker recipes, but don’t have one. We usually use the oven – So would you say about 250 degrees?
Yup, I think you’d be alright with that – that’s how I cook my roasts in the oven – I just prefer the slow cooker in the summer months to keep my non-air-conditioned house cool! 😉
What is the best roast to use for a pot roast? I want to try this recipe!
I’ve made this before but use Coke since that’s what the Hubster drinks and agree, it’s the Best!
I have someone I cook for that cannot eat mushrooms and is not a fan of cream based sauces. Any suggestions for substitutions?
Just omit the mushroom soup altogether – I’ve done it with just Pepsi/Coke and seasonings too!
OMG this looks amazing!!!!!!! looks very yummy
This looks so good. I would definitely be using Pepsi with my Pot roast. Not a fan of coke but I am sure it would be just as good in the slow cooker. Your recipes always make me hungry 🙂
This sounds interesting.. I know the hubby would love the mushrooms… lol
This sound so delicious, I think I’ll make it for dinner on Sunday, and if there are any leftovers, I’ve got lunch for Monday.
Thanks for sharing this. It looks good and it’s so simple to make!
I just put a roast in the slow cooker this morning I dont have pepsi or coke so I used beer lol. but I never thought of mushroom soup gonna add that right now.
I make this all the time, it’s so good
This sounds delish , never heard of putting a can of pepsi , will def ave to try this out soon , thanks for sharing ,
my roast turned out great wish I had the pepsi to try but the mushroom soup was good in it.
