Coke substitute for roasts

[MuchMoore]

I have several crock pot roast recipes that use either Coke or Dr. Pepper along with other spices and seasonings. What are some substitutes that would provide a similar taste without the sugar?

[Fiorella]

What? Really? I have never cooked with Coke before.

Perhaps try red wine? I cook many, many roasts in wine.

you can just use water too, or stock, or any liquid. It serves a mechanical not an aromatic purpose and that is to stop the meat catching until it can render out some of it’s fat.

Thanks, I always though the purpose was flavoring. Makes sense though.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try this weekend. Looks like we are going to be snowed in for a few days and that sounds like the perfect cold weather meal.

Can you tolerate stevia? There’s Zevia sodas that replicate both cola and Dr. Pepper. Maybe one of those would work?

I haven’t experimented enough to know for sure. I am ok digestive wise, just unsure about affects on insulin. Planning on testing like they discussed in one of the episodes with the meter once I find mine.
