Here is a simple recipe that I use at my home to spice up different types of meat. You can use beef roast, pork chops, ribs, and chicken.

Each sauce if per one pound of meat.
2/3 Cups of Dr. Pepper
2/3 cup of Ketchup
1 tsb. of Worstshire
1 tsb. of Dried Oregano
1 garlic clove (minced) optional

Beef Roast: Place a 2-3 lbs roast in a crock pot and bake on low for 4-6 hrs. Add your vegetable the last 2 hrs. Or you can break-up the roast and serve on sandwiches.

Also, you can Bake the roast at 350 for 1 hr.

Pork Chops or Chicken: Place 4 pork chops in a 9 x 13 dish and bake at 350 for 1 hr.

Ribs (I use country style aka without the bone): Place 2-3 lbs ribs in a crock pot and bake for 4-6 hrs on low. Basting the ribs with the sauce every 30 mins.

Or you can bake the ribs at 325 for 1 hr and then bake another 45 min basting the ribs every 15 min.

*Do not use Diet Dr. Pepper even if does taste the same. The sugar helps tenderize the meat.
