A traditional beef roast can get boring. And dry. I am constantly experimenting with different ways to prepare a beef roast. Since several types of roasts are very lean and dry out easily from the long cooking times to make them tender, I have several recipes like the crock pot butter beef that uses a stick of butter to add flavor and juiciness to the beef roast. Crock Pot Cajun Bacon Beef Roast is a low carb beef roast recipe full of Cajun flavors and smokiness from the bacon and bacon grease with tenderness brought on from a can of Coke.
This roast was so good I couldn't stop eating it. Salty and sweet with hints of spice and smoke throughout every single bite of beef.
Crock Pot Cajun Bacon Beef Roast
The ingredients for this beef roast are staples in my house. Beef roasts are always stocked in the freezer and for this recipe, I used a rolled rump roast. Any beef roast will work in this recipe. Bacon and the grease are the second most important ingredient in this recipe. Then the seasonings including the steak seasoning, cajun seasoning and a can of Coca-Cola or coke zero if you want to make this low-carb. Diet Coke would work fine for low-carb dieters as well.
Start by frying up the bacon. I used a 12-ounce package for this recipe. When I need bacon crumbles, I cut the bacon up before putting in the pan. This allows me to fry more, faster.
While the bacon is frying, season the beef roast with the Cajun and steak seasonings and put into the crock pot. When the bacon is done, pour the bacon and grease over the top the beef roast.
Follow up the bacon and grease with a can of Coke. Pour the entire can into the crock pot. It will foam up, so pour slowly.
Cook the crock pot cajun bacon beef roast on low for 8 or more hours. There will be plenty of liquids in the crock pot if you want to fix it and forget about it all day.
When the beef roast is done, shred the beef. The bacon and the beef will be mixed together into the crock pot juices. Feel free to add more bacon crumbles to the top of the cajun bacon beef.
If you are planning on having a beef roast this week, make it the crock pot cajun bacon beef roast.
