How to Make Pepsi Crock Pot Bacon Pot Roast
- Place the bacon in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Season the pot roast generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Sear the pot roast on all sides in a skillet over medium-high heat until browned. This step adds depth of flavor.
- Place the seared pot roast on top of the bacon in the slow cooker.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Pepsi, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard.
- Pour the Pepsi mixture over the pot roast, ensuring it's mostly submerged.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the pot roast is fork-tender.
- Remove the pot roast from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Skim off excess fat from the cooking liquid.
- Thicken the cooking liquid (optional): In a small saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the cooking liquid and simmer until thickened.
- Slice the pot roast and serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side dish. Drizzle with the delicious pan juices.
