I made this for the 4th and it was an easy dinner to put together while my family was able to spend some time together. It doesn't have to be cooked just for the 4th of July. Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs trimmed boneless chuck roast |
2 chopped onions |
1 (12 ounce) can diet cola |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar |

3/4 teaspoon dry mustard |
3/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
3 cloves minced garlic |

1 tablespoon light butter |
12 reduced-fat hamburger buns with sesame seeds |

1. Place roast in a 3 1/2 or 4 quart electric slow cooker; add onion.
2. Combine cola and next 7 ingredients; cover and chill 1 cup sauce.
3. Pour remaining sauce over raost.
4. Cover with lid; cook on High for 1 hour.
5. Reduce heat to Low; cook 8 hours or until roast is very tender.
6. If time doesn't permit, you can omit cooking it on High for 1 hour.
