  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup

Chili Coke Roast - Crockpot

I found this recipe on pinterest from Moms Who Think. It was super easy and super yummy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 beef roast, 3-4 lbs
  • 1 can Coca-Cola
  • 1 package onion soup mix
  • 1 bottle chili sauce
Instructions:
  • Place all ingredients in crockpot and cook for 7-10 hours on low.
  • The meat will fall apart when done
Tips:
  • I bought the chili sauce that had garlic in it, and it made it super spicy, but yummy. I put the roast in the crockpot, dumped in the Coke, dumped in the chili sauce, the sprinkled the onion soup mix. I think next time I am going to mix the Coke, chili sauce, and onion soup mix together, and THEN dump it over the roast.

  • 2 packages tortillas (about 20 tortillas)
  • 12 eggs, extra large
  • 1/2 c milk
  • 1/3 c olive oil
  • seasoning of your choice (I like Italian seasoning, garlic, pepper, salt, basil)
Preparation:
  • Cook the sausage and bacon
  • Prepare the potatoes:
    • Preheat oven to 450 degrees
    • Clean and cube the potatoes
    • Toss the potatoes with olive oil and seasoning of your choice
    • Cook in oven for 30 minutes or until soft and golden brown
  • Scrambled Eggs:
    • Wisk one dozen eggs and 1/2 c milk in bowl until well combined
    • Scramble in a large skillet until done
  • Tortillas
    • Heat tortillas in microwave for about 30 seconds until warm
Assemble:
  • Mix everything together in a bowl except for the cheese
  • Spoon mixture onto the tortilla, then sprinkle cheese over mixture, and roll up tortilla
  • Make sure the ends are tucked in, and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet
  • When all tortillas have been assembled, place in freezer for about an hour to flash freeze
  • When frozen, place in freezer bags
Reheat:
  • Heat in microwave about 2 minutes, or until hot all the way through. Microwave times and power will vary.
Tips:
  • We like to add maple syrup to the inside once the burrito is heated up
  • You can also add salsa to the burrito
  • You can add anything according to what your family likes. Some ideas include green peppers, onions,  sauteed veggies.
