COLA ROAST

1 small frozen roast (1.5-3 lb beef round tip) I use a pork roast or what ever I have on hand
2 tbsp. VE French Onion Dip or 3 Onion Dip
1 small can of mushrooms, undrained
1 can cola (diet or regular, brand name or generic)
Salt and pepper.

Place roast in slow cooker, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix cola and onion soup mix till dissolved. Pour over roast and add mushrooms. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. You can mix in a jar of beef gravy or gravy mix into gravy to thicken, after you remove the roast.
