7-Up Roast

Cola roast is very good and this one is just as great. The citrus adds a mild level of taste to the simplicity of the recipe and helps tenderize tougher meats.

7-Up Roast

1 -3 to 5 pound boneless pork roast
Celery salt
1 cup 7-Up
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 small bay leaves
2 garlic cloves -chopped or sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Wash the roast and pat dry with paper towels. Place in the slow cooker and with a meat fork, pierce top of roast all over. Sprinkle top lightly with celery salt and rub into the grain. Add remaining ingredients and set cooker on HIGH for 4 hours, then on LOW for 2 hours or on LOW for 8 hours.
Serve mashed potatoes, a vegetable and bread of choice.

Note: You may remove the liquid at the end of cooking to make a gravy. Mix 2 tablespoons each of soften butter and flour into the liquid and simmer until thickened.
