Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3-4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 can Coca Cola
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 bottle Chili Sauce
  • 2 medium onions peeled and quartered
  • 4 carrots scrubbed and chopped into 1" chunks

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 F.
  • Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.  Season roast with salt and pepper, then sear the meat until browned on both sides (about 1-2 minutes per side).  Remove from heat.
  • Stir the Coke and onion soup mix together in a bowl, then whisk in the chili sauce.
  • Pour the Coke mixture over the chuck roast, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.  Cover and bake for 1 hour.
  • Add the onions and carrots to the roast, cover and continue baking for another 2-3 hours, until meat and vegetables are fork tender.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, hot buttered egg noodles or crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
