With a name like that I just had to try this recipe I stumbled across on http://stickygooeycreamychewy.com. It’s cooking in my oven right now and smells fantastic. I’ll update tonight on my review of it’s deliciousness.

Trailer Trash Pot Roast

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 3-4 pound beef chuck roast
Salt and pepper for seasoning roast
1 can Coca Cola (classic Coke)
1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
1 bottle Heinz Chili Sauce
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
4 carrots, scrubbed and roughly chopped into 1 to 2-inch chunks

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 F.

Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Season roast with salt and pepper and sear the meat until browned on both sides, about a minute or two per side.  Remove from heat.

Stir Coke and onion soup mix together in a bowl.  Whisk in chili sauce.

Pour Coke mixture over the chuck roast, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.  Cover and bake for 1 hour.

Add the onions and carrots to the roast, cover and continue baking for another 2-3 hours, until meat and vegetables are fork tender.

Serve with mashed potatoes, hot buttered egg noodles or a big old loaf of crusty bread to sop up the sauce.

Update: The meat was falling apart after the 4 hours in the oven and smelled absolutely amazing. We served over egg noodles, though I wish I had some fresh crusty sour dough to go with it.  The chilli sauce added a little heat and zing, while the coca cola countered with some sweetness. The only thing I’ll do different next time is trim more fat off the meat.
