Ingredients

  • 3lb chuck roast

  • 2 cans Zevia Cola

  • 2 finely chopped garlic
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 6 Medium quartered yukon gold potatoes

Optional

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Step 1
In a bowl or measuring cup, stir together Zevia sodas, chopped garlic, and seasoning mix. Add all vegetables and meat to crockpot and pour in liquid mixture.

Set on LOW and cook for 6-8 hours. Eat as is or make optional gravy if desired (directions below).
Step 3
To make gravy, remove meat and vegetables from crockpot. RESERVE liquid.

In a cast iron skillet or saucepan set over medium-high heat, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 2-3 minutes. Mixture will be thick and chunky. The longer you cook this, the darker it will get.
