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.

This one is new to me. I’ve always used an envelope of ranch & thousand island dressing , w/ half envelope of brn. Gravy mix ( whole 2 salty) cup water, or any leftover liquid in kitchen. Add roast 3-5#, powders & liquid & cook on low @ 6-7 hrs. cant ‘member at this time. Nothing else!! Is easy and tasty. I also like mine falling apart. For those talking about the excess liquid, try cornstarch for gravy. This is 1 recipe I will try. I keep all my ingredients at all times. Store brand mix is all I buy when it comes to salad dressing.
Sounds delicious, Beverly. My sister-in-law makes a very similar roast in her slow cooker and it is delicious.
Sounds good, though really it’s a pot roast not a roast beef, since it isn’t slow roasted in the oven without liquid 😉
What about beef broth instead f water?
That would give it a wonderful flavor, Mary! Can’t wait to hear how you like it.
I am making this right now.. I think I put in a little extra Worcestershire sauce, but hopefully it won’t be too strong! I’m excited! My boyfriend is extremely picky and meat is one of the few things he eats, so I need some good easy recipes 🙂
If I was short on time and wanted to make this in the oven what temperature would you suggest and for how long?
My daughter made a roast with a coke, well Texan here it was a Pepsi, and a half a bottle of BBQ sauce,and a lil liquid smoke shredded it and made the best chopped beef (that hadn’t actually been Bar B Qued) sandwiches. And it’s great in a Baked potato too 🙂 Can’t wait to try it this way as well.
Hi Tina,
Your daughter’s recipe sounds delicious! I can’t wait to give it a try!
I am going to try to make this again, I didn’t do too well on the first try. But I, first, need to ask, what’s a dash measure to? How much salt? And pepper? (I was assuming that the salt and pepper was to each one’s taste.) If you use a smaller weight cut, do you alter the measurements? (I am determined to get this right!)
Hey Sheila! A dash equals 1/8 of a teaspoon. For the salt and pepper, it is to taste. If you do use a smaller weight cut, I would reduce the measurements of the other ingredients proportionally. I hope you enjoy it!!!
I have a crock pot and I’m sure what the differnce is in a crock pot and a slow cooker. Will it make a difference in cooking it and how it will taste?
there is no difference – crock pot and slow cooker are the same
You should NEVER cook potatoes with your meat (beef, pork, chicken, etc) Potatoes will draw all the
flavor out of the meat and it will be tasteless. Roast your potatoes separate. Carrots, celery, onions,
garlic enhance the flavor, but not potatoes.
I had never heard this before, but it makes complete sense! I will be cooking my potatoes separately from now on. Thanks!
I’m trying this recipe today!
From one busy Mom to another……THANK YOU! I love cooking a roast but the prep time usually takes time I don’t have. I was able to throw this in the crock pot before I left for work today and I’m excited to see how it turns out after we get home from soccer practice!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it 🙂
