Coca Cola is a GREAT meat tenderizer. If you google it you can find 100s of recipes using Coke/Pepsi/Cola

Does the coke leave a sweet taste to the meat?

I don't really notice any particular flavor. The main thing is how tender it is when it has been cooked in cola. You can easily shred/cut it with a fork and it stays SO juicy.

I am heating up ready made cheese quiche and soup. You are making it seem a lot less tasty now.

Yum! My mom made pot roast the other day. I don't think I've ever heard of the Coke/Pepsi method. I'll have to tell her about that.

Some may call it cheating because I use a lot of help from the store, but I call it an efficient use of time that results in a GREAT meal

1 pot roast, trimmed of visible fat. We use an arm roast because it is inexpensive
1 small bag of baby carrots
1 large onion, chopped
2 medium potatoes, diced
1 can Campbell's chunky potato soup, any variety
1 can Coca Cola
1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Dump carrots, potatoes, and onions in the bottom of a 4-5 quart slow cooker. Add in potato soup and stir until the veggies are evenly coated. Place pot roast on top of the veggies and pour the onion soup mix on top of the meat. Pour a can of Coke on top of the veggies around the meat.
Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours and on high for 4 hours. Or on low ALL day.

It is SO easy and turns out so tender and juicy that it is hard to lift the meat out of the crock pot without shredding it to pieces.
