Pot roast - in the crock pot

Basically, I started off with this recipe, which claimed to be the BEST pot roast ever  ((it IS pretty good)).

I mixed in the au jus mix instead of just putting it on top, and I used sprite instead of coke or pepsi.  ((from what I understand, the carbonation does something to help make it tender? Don't know if that's actually true.))

I also cooked it with onions, baby carrots, and small yukon gold potatoes.  I served it all up with some rolls with butter & jelly.  Yummy.

  1. I've tried the Arby's knockoff one that is going around pinterest. It doesn't taste very much like Arby's to me. As for this recipe, both packets have corn starch in them, so you do get a gravy from it, even adding more water like I do sometimes.
