List of Ingredients

4 pounds beef sirloin roast
3 carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 (.75 ounce) package dry brown gravy mix
2 tablespoons water
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
10 fluid ounces cola-flavored carbonated beverage


Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. Place meat in a roasting pan. Sprinkle carrots, celery and minced garlic around roast.

3. In a small bowl, combine the brown gravy mix and water, mixing into a smooth paste. Add onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and cola-flavored carbonated beverage. Pour over the roast.

4. Cover pan, and cook 1 hour in the preheated oven.
