A delicious recipe for Dr Pepper Roast Beef cooked in a slow cooker. Perfect for busy weeknight suppers.
Okay, before I go any further, I have to tell you that this Dr Pepper Roast Beef is by far one of 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.

I’ve got this cooking in the slow cooker right now – it smells heavenly! I’m so looking forward to dinner! Thanks for a great and simple recipe!
Hi, what’s a ‘beef roast’ I don’t know what cut of beef to use? 🙁 I’m in the UK
I usually like to use either a rump roast, round roast, or sirloin tip.
thank you so much xx
Made this tonight. So easy and soooo good! My husband said it was the best thing I’ve ever made. My two year old preferred a hot dog and ketchup. You can’t win them all – but I will ba making it again and your hash tomorrow for lunch!
So glad you loved it, Kellie. That hash is to die for, too! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it! {And I know what you mean about not winning them all!}
The hash was great! I used leftover dippings instead of the bullion and served it over rice. It was really tasty and my friends lavished me with compliments on it! I skipped the celery too because I’m not a lover of celery. I even froze the rest of the roast juices because I couldn’t bear to throw it out since it was so good 😉
My comment about “not winning them all” was because my husband and I loved the roast but my son preferred a hot dog. He’s two though – taste buds are refined to dirt, hot dogs and bananas.
Thanks for the great recipes!!!!
Made this today and it was delicious! I did alter it just a bit. I seasoned the pot roast with salt, pepper, and garlic and then seared it in a pan so that it had a really brown crust before I put it in the crock pot. I deglazed the sear pan with some dr pepper and I only used 1/2 cup of water. After it was all done I put some of the Aujus in a pot and reduced it about 25% and added a pinch of salt and pepper then thickened it up. Turned out wonderful and will definitely be added to our rotation of recipes. The sauce did not overly taste of dr pepper, it just had a nice sweet part to it.
Have you tried this recipe slow cooked in oven(dutch oven) instead of crock pot?
Well – sent my husband and teenage son out to pick up a can of Dr. Pepper. It’s not a drink we normally have around the house. The boys suggested rootbeer next time. It was very tender though.
The title ingredient attracted me to the recipe and almost scared me away from actually making it. I bought the roast for this recipe and almost chose a different (more traditional) roast recipe last minute… I didn’t, but I almost changed a few ingredients in the recipe… But didn’t (decided if it bombed, it would be the recipes fault). All day I thought I’d have to make a run to the store and buy a precooked meat to replace this horrendous mistake. I was wrong. Dr Pepper Slow Cooker Roast Beef is AWESOME! This recipe is super delicious just the way it is. And super plus, that my two kids (2 and 11) were able to make it mostly by themselves!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Taryn!

Thanks so much, Sheryl. I appreciate your letting me know! 🙂
Stupid question…do you leave the cloves whole or chop or mince them? thanks!
Hi Tiffany! Not a stupid question at all! I personally like to chop them so that when I spoon the juices over the roast as I serve it, there are little bits in there as well. But, you could just as easily leave the cloves of garlic whole if you prefer and then just make sure not to snag one of them as you are serving.
NOT a stupid question! Just waded through all the comments in hopes of finding this one. Thanks for asking it!! 🙂 Looking forward to eating this tonight.
I was looking for the answer also. Thank you for asking…..
I would like to try this Dr. Pepper Roast but I normally use a sirloin tip roast in the crock pot. Do you think that would be okay?
I think it should work fine! Since it is very lean, you may want to monitor and make sure you don’t need to add more liquid during the cooking process. Everytime you open the top to your slow cooker though, you’ll need to add about 15-20 minutes to cook time. 🙂
