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.

Is it ok to use Diet Dr Pepper?
I know I’m three months too late, Jim, but I can tell you I once tried Diet Dr Pepper and the answer is definitely no. It’s chemically different and not a tenderizer. More like a tougherizer.
Not sure if this was the beef but it was horrible. Meat was extremely dry with no flavor. Crock pot was full of fat and the sauce had no flavor.
My beef was sourced from a local farm shop and the Dr. Pepper was bought from a local supermarket. Really disappointing.
I will use the beef with a BBQ sauce and hope it improves.
This is no way a negative comment on the website or the recipe it just didn’t work for me.

I know this recipe very well when it is done I shred cabbage and mix a little hot bbq sauce and mayo together with a little of the left over juice and serve it on a butter toasted bun very delicious
I have an addiction with chocolate and diet Dr Pepper …I’ve never imagined cooking with Dr Pepper and I’m very curious about the result! Well, so why not Dr Pepper. Be sure I’ll try it out!
Thanks for spelling “Dr Pepper” correctly! There’s no period after Dr in the product name. Random Texas trivia.
What kind of meat do I buy at the store. I am terrible at finding the right kind…will it saw raost beef or something like chuck roast or rump roast????
Typically when referring to an American Roast Beef you want a Top Round cut of beef. You can use other cuts such as rump roast, bottom round, eye of round but the best roast beef is top round. I was the GM of a fine dining establishment and am now in food sales so I’m speaking from experience.
I ALWAYS USE A RUMP ROAST AND IT TURNS OUT GREAT, BUT I’VE ALSO USED A CHUCK ROAST WITH SUCCESS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE CHUCK HAS A TON OF FAT THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO PICK OUT AFTER COOKING. THE RUMP HAS WAS IS CALL A CAP OF FAT. IT CAN STAY ON UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED COOKING, BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE MEAT MOIST.
I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I USED A GOOD AMOUNT OF LAWRY’S SEASON SALT IN MY COOKER. THE FLAVOR WAS GREAT. I ALSO USED SOME BEEF STOCK, APPROX. 1 CUP. THE BEST FLAVOR CAME AS I REMOVED THE ROAST AND REDUCED THE LIQUID BY MORE THAN HALF AND THEN ADDED IT BACK TO THE MEAT FOR A HALF HOUR TO SIMMER. YOU CAN AT THIS POINT ADD YOUR FAVORITE BBQ SAUCE TO THE POT OR SERVE IT ON THE SIDE, WHICH IS MY FAVORITE WAY. SERVE ON A TOASTED BUN WITH COLESLAW ON THE SIDE.
How do you serve it? Sounds great – and perfect way to use the slow cooker on these hot summer days too! I just would like to know the best way to serve it … or ideas/options, etc. Thanks!
Opps, I meant pour instead of “poor”.
You can add a jar of mild pepper rings in and it it turns out amazing. I did this and I won’t ever cook another roast without adding them.
I’d love to be able to save this, but I didn’t see a “save” button. ?????
There is not a save button, but if you are referring to the ZipList save button, you can easily use their bookmarklet to save it to your recipe box. Thanks so much!
what if i wanted to add some carrots and potatoes to it would it not come out right?
