BBQ Pot Roast

I've had this recipe pinned for a long time.  What was I waiting for?  This was delicious!  I really loved the BBQ sauce.  Perfectly sweet and tangy.  This came from one of my fave food blogs - Plain Chicken.  She served this with cheddar ranch grits.  That sounds pretty fantastic to me, but Aaron isn't a fan of grits, so I opted for cheddar ranch mashed potatoes instead.  I don't have a recipe for that.  I just mashed potatoes with butter (duh!), sour cream, ranch dressing mix and grated cheddar.

BBQ Pot Roast
From Plain Chicken

garlic powder
salt
pepper
1 4-5 lb. roast
1 12 oz. can of Coke
1 12 oz. bottle of chili sauce
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons hot sauce (I used chipotle flavored)
3 tablespoons cornstarch    
1/4 cup milk

Place roast in slow cooker and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Combine Coke, chili sauce, worcestershire sauce and hot sauce in a bowl.  Pour sauce over roast.  Cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 8-9 hours.

Remove roast from slow cooker, reserving juices in slow cooker.  Cover roast with foil to keep warm.

Dissolve corn starch in milk.  Stir mixture into reserved juices in slow cooker.  Cook on high for 15 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.  Serve sauce over roast.
