Alright, this won’t be a secret for too long. But, I can still call it a surprise ingredient. And I will now impart to you my go-to crock pot recipe for a good sandwich. (Extra sauce, please.) What is the secret ingredient that adds a little something you weren’t expecting? Why, it is cherry coke. Pour it right on into your slow cooker. Have you tried this with meats before? Using a cola to cook it in. Interesting. Do you drink the cola with the meal too?
