  1. I was so looking forward to making this highly rated roast as any crockpot dishes I have tried have always been mediocre. I so wanted this one to be great but sadly, not - another mediocre dish after following the recipe to a T. Suggest to anyone trying this, more seasoning is needed to make this dish even close to 5 stars.
     
  2. Have made many roasts in the crockpot. This one turned out well, although I think I prefer cooking beef in cola vs ginger ale. We sliced the roast thin and served as an open-faced sandwich with the gravy spooned on top. Made for Football Pool Week 2 win.
     
  3. My DS hates roasts, so I haven't made one in a long time. Craving one horribly, and saw this last night and just had to try it out. Delicious and easy....usually I brown my roast before putting in the crock pot, but didn't notice a difference with this. Very similar to another crock-pot roast that I make and love! I am smiling ear-to-ear. I had some comfort food today! Delicious! Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I made this last week and it was delicious. I used a dutch oven and cooked this on the stove top and when it was done it was so tender and just fell apart so easily. I thickened the gravy and served this as open roast beef sandwiches with french fries with gravy over all of it! Absolutely wonderful and it got rave reviews from everyone! Thanks for sharing this gem!
     
  5. Made this last night and you can't get any easier and the end result was a tender roast beef with a wonderful gravy. I did sear the roast before putting it in the crock pot and thicken the gravy at the end but that was the only minor changes I made. I was worried the ginger ale would make it overly sweet but I didn't need to, it was perfect. What a great recipe for those busy days when you just don't have much time. I served with baked potatoe and recipe#133821 for a wonderful dinner.

  1. Such an easy and delicious recipe. I used diet ginger ale as I never have regular pop in the house. I also did not have brown gravy mix in the house but I had pork gravy mix so I used it instead. The beef was very tender and the gravy was rich. Sometimes these little accidental subs turn out VERY good! Served with mashed potatoes to spoon the gravy over. YUM! Thanks for posting a keeper weekend cooker. Made for I Recommend Tag.
