Slow Cooker BBQ Pot Roast over Cheddar Ranch Grits – chuck roast slow-cooked in a homemade BBQ sauce and served over Quick Cheddar Ranch Grits – this pot roast is SOOO good! I wanted to lick my plate! EVERYONE LOVES this pot roast!
Growing up I was never a pot roast fan, but since starting this blog I have found several pot roast recipes that I really like. Of all the recipes I’ve tried, this might be my favorite. The roast was extremely tender and juicy, and the sauce was tangy and has a little zip to it. I served this roast over some Cheddar Ranch Grits – OMG! The grits were good enough to eat all on their own, but were incredible when combined with the roast. This was SO good that I want to make it again next week – seriously!
This pot roast is super easy to make. Place the pot roast in the slow cooker. Whisk together a can of coke, chili sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Pour over the roast and cook on LOW all day. About 15 minutes before serving, prepare the grits. Bring quick cook grits and chicken broth to a boil. Reduce heat and add Ranch mix and cheese. Serve the pot roast and all that yummy sauce on top of the grits.
You don’t need many sides to go with this pot roast and grits. We usually just make some rolls and some green beans or asparagus. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this yummy roast:

This was great but the ranch was way too much. I'll leave it out next time.
I accidentally combined the milk and cornstarch with the rest of the ingredients. Hope it still turns out ok…. 😕

Heather – I used Crystal's hot sauce. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
What kind of hot sauce do you use? This recipe looks amazing! Can't wait to try it!
Carla – glad to hear it was a hit!
gurrrrrl – this is a slow cooker slap FULL of ridonculousness. such a winner of a recipe! thanks for sharing. my family absolutely loved it.
I made this today & substituted a Diet Dr Pepper & didn't use hot sauce then shredded it up before adding it back to the gravy. Served on hoagie roll. It was super yummy! Thank you!
I immediately started drooling when I saw the pictures. Oh lordy, this MUST happen and SOON.
Taylor – no, it is a spicy ketchup. It is near the ketchup and cocktail sauce. It isn't very spicy at all.
Is chili sauce "siracha"? Is it super spicy? Thanks!!
Phooey. I was so excited to see this recipe at Weekend Potluck. I would love to pin this and promote it on my Facebook page if you could just add a little link back to one of the cohosts. 🙂
