List of Ingredients

4 lb chuck roast
1 large (4") and 1 medium (3") onion, sliced and cut into quarters
1 1/2 tsp minced garlic
1 lb baby carrots (whole)
4-5 potatoes, peeled and slice in half
2/3 can (12 oz) diet coke - about 8 oz coke
3-4 cup low-salt beef bouillon (from crystals)
1-2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
cast iron pot

Preheat oven to 450F.

I had about a 4 pound chuck roast, which I salted on both sides Placed onions in bottom, sprinkled minced garlic on top, laid carrots on top of that and potatoes on top of that. Then put roast on top of all. (I did use a cast iron pot - and except for the fact it is so heavy to move around, it worked great.)

Baked, uncovered, for 20 minutes, turned over roast and baked 20 more minutes. Added about 8 oz of diet coke, low sodium beef bouillon and red wine vinegar and covered the pot.

Checked it every 20 minutes for another hour, and then every 10 minutes for 30 minutes. It was great - the best we've ever had and the leftovers - yum, yum, yum.
