Okay, before I go any further, I have to tell you that this Dr Pepper Slow Cooker Roast Beef is by far the best slow cooker roast beef recipe that I have ever had.
Hands down.
I didn’t add any potatoes or carrots to this recipe. I wanted just the meat so that I could easily use any leftovers in sandwiches or other dishes later in the week. {There’s a great one coming tomorrow, so be sure to come back for it.}
I also want to tell you that my love for Coca-Cola has not faded. It’s a Georgia born and bred drink and I can’t stay away from it for long. But, Dr Pepper just adds something special to this slow cooker roast recipe.
Oh my stars does it ever.
I love putting everything in the slow cooker and heading off for my day of activities without having to worry about what we’re having for supper.
I need all the help I can get for having supper ready after a busy day.
Coming home from late football practice and now adding games to the schedule leaves me with few nights that I can leisurely cook supper – if I ever could during the week. These are the nights I am more thankful than ever for my slow cooker.
And this Dr Pepper Slow Cooker Roast Beef.
And early bedtimes.
And my DVR.
But we’ll just talk about the roast for now.
Here’s my recipe for Dr Pepper Slow Cooker Roast Beef. I think you’ll love it.
- 1 3-5 pound beef roast
- 1 can Dr Pepper
- 1 cup water
- 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
- 3 cloves garlic
- Place beef roast in slow cooker.
- Add in all other ingredients.
- Cook for 7 hours on low.
- Serve warm with pan juices spooned over the top.
Enjoy!

I tried this recipe today and it was awesome! I used about a can and a half of Dr. Pepper and one and one-third cup of water. This is the way to go if you need more than seven hours of cooking time! After a long day of shopping I came back 8 hours later to a perfectly cooked roast! It was my first time with a crock pot and I would definitely recommend this recipe for other beginners! Next time I’ll be trying it with dried onion soup – I hear it’s amazing! Thank you for the awesome recipe!
I knew I was going to use this as a sand which shred so instead of worstershire I subbed in A-1 and it was wonderful! Served this on a crusty baguette with provolone and had to seriously restrain from having two! Thanks a bunch!
Made this today. Used diet Dr. Pepper and used 1/2 c water and 1/2 c beef broth. Turned out quite well, but would add some spices next time to add some punch. Certainly cooked it tender and juicy. Thanks for the recipe. Always like to try new variations.
Stupid question I know, but as a slow cooker beginner … what size slow cooker did you use for this? Mine is pretty small.
Hi Nathan
I would suggest a 5 or 6 quart.
Prepared this today and it was so good! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I need to make a meal for a large family who just introduced a new little one into their fold. I have a large bone-in chuck roast that I’m hoping will due will with this recipe. Since I’m not sure what this tastes like when it’s done, could you advise me on what sort of bread and what sorts of condiments would suit the finished product in a sandwich? Thanks so much!
I would serve it on a thick sourdough bread with a deli mustard spread.
Would this work with short ribs?
This is wonderful and easy! I’ve linked to it on my site since Hy-Vee has a great deal on roast this week and it’d be a great item to have in a weekly meal plan. Thank you for sharing!
perfect recipe – hubby loves roast beef and Dr. Pepper, so I know this will be a winner!
My family loves roast beef and Dr. Pepper so this should be a win win. Just put this in my crock pot for tonight! Looking forward to trying this with gravy and mashed potatoes as an open faced roast beef sandwich
will let you know how it turns out!
Will this also works on boneless chicken breast? I would love to try it tonight with chicken breast
How much is 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce??
I didn’t have time to do it in the crock pot, so I cooked it on 300F for 3 hours in an oven-safe Dutch oven. I did not add the water, but gave it a splash of Balsamic vinegar. Very easy, and VERY yummy. Think this will by my go-to pot roast from now on. (Being from the South, I wonder how it would be with Coke instead of Dr. Pepper.) If you are inclined, you could also reduce the juice and thicken with a little cornstarch while the meat is resting. THUMBS UP!
Hello
I wanted to try something a little different and I came across this recipe so i thought i would give it a try. I added a few ingredients such as onion, celery, carrots, green pepper, but this recipe was missing something. Next time I will add beef broth to give it flavor. Turned out good with the pop. Thanks for the idea, i will cook beef a little more in my household…
