I am not a soda drinker, but Mr. O-P loved it. So much
so, that, when he passed away, I was left with a refrigerator full of cans of
soda of various varieties. Because I don't drink it, and hesitate to offer it
to the frequent young people I have visiting, I decided the best way to use it
was to cook with it.
It's surprising how many different varieties of sodas are used
in cooking. In the past I've made Root Beer Pulled Pork, 7-Up Biscuits,
Coca-Cola Meatloaf, Coca-Cola Cake,
and today I made the most flavorful and tender short ribs on the planet using,
once again, a can of Coke.
This recipe could not be simpler. Essentially, 1 to 2 pounds of
short ribs are put into the bottom of a crockpot, a bag of dry onion soup mix
is sprinkled on top, and then you pour a can of Coca-Cola over it. That's it,
just let it hang out on low all day long, enjoy the aroma as it wafts through
the house, and wait until dinner.
During the last hour of cooking, because I wanted my entire meal in the crockpot, I threw in a handful of Melissa's Baby Dutch Yellow Potatoes, mushrooms, quartered onions, and baby carrots. That's all I did, and I had an excellent meal.
If you need a printable recipe, I'll do my best to provide you with one below. Really, though, this is one that can just be committed to memory.
