I always use the same easy Paleo crock pot roast recipe because it is easy and delicious! I am a big fan of using my crock pot and it’s also a pretty inexpensive meal if you get your meat on sale. I got my roast for under $11 and will use it for 2 meals. I think that is a pretty good deal for a family of 4!
I say to use a 2-3 pound chuck roast, but you can use a butt roast also. A 2-3 lb roast will probably get you 8-12 servings and I always have too much so I always cut my roast in half and freeze the other half. This works best for us, but I included ingredients to use for a full roast.
The gravy is really easy to make and you can easily make a gluten-free pot roast by using a gluten-free flour * or "Clean" by using whole wheat flour, spelt flour * or einkorn flour *. To make this Paleo, just use turnips instead of white potatoes and tapioca flour * or arrowroot starch * for the gravy.
It is the middle of December and here in Utah where we live it is normally very cold and snowy. There is usually so much snow all the time for months on and on. Well, it has only snowed twice this year and the amount of snow was very small compared to a normal Utah snow. I mean it hasn't snowed enough to send the kiddos out to build a snowman (which they have been wanting to build Olaf) or throw snowballs and just play in the snow!
As Christmas gets closer we are all hoping it will start to snow! I don't know about you guys and depending on where you live, it doesn't really feel like the holiday season until there is snow everywhere!
Not only has there not been any snow but it has been abnormally warm! I have been walking around in sandals and no jacket! This unheard of in December here in Utah! Where do you live? What is your winter normally like? Has it been snowing where you are? Comment below!
Don't get me wrong. I love my mom so much and she was really good at getting dinner on the table every night and they were mostly good home-cooked meals. But several of the meals were far from Clean.
I think she used cream of something soup several times a week. (I can't even stand to smell the stuff now). One of the things she did her best with was roast. But I HATED it. My dad loved it and my mom would make it for Sunday dinner a lot like it was some special dinner.
But it was soooo dry. I think half the problem was probably the cut and quality of the meat, but I know part of it was because she cooked it dry in the oven. I must confess though that part of the problem was the potatoes. I never met a potato I liked. There are a few ways I can tolerate a potato.
My grandma made me new potatoes with fresh peas and carrots and white gravy and I remember liking those. Some scalloped potatoes are ok and every once in a long while I used to like potato chips. Anyway, the fact that it was a dry roast along with potatoes didn't help anything.
When I was growing up, crockpots were not even close to the crock pots they make today. They took forever to cook anything and they were just not the same. So my Mom never used one. The crockpot is the best way by far to cook a roast that I know of.
It comes out moist, tender and juicy when you use my recipe. I didn't always put a beef stock on my roast, but once I tried it, I won't ever go back. It makes it so tender and juicy and not dry. It's like you can eat it with a spoon. So good. . .
Tips and Tricks
This recipe is extremely easy and the gravy is delicious because you use the drippings that have been cooking all day with the roast in the crockpot. This recipe is totally customizable too. I used russet potatoes, but it is also good with any kind of potato, like red, sweet, fingerling, etc. or you can mix it up and use something like parsnips to make it Paleo. Cut the vegetables in big chunks to keep them from getting super mushy.
And I really do recommend you try the gravy. You can either do it like the recipe shows below or put equal parts fat and flour in a saucepan and stir until it's melted and the flour is incorporated into the fat. Then slowly add a little broth at a time until it's the desired consistency. I have the best luck with this method to prevent clumps. (Use gluten-free flour, if necessary)
How to store this after it is cooked
I often have lots of leftovers of roast and used to wonder how to best store it - but not anymore! I usually put enough for one meal in the refrigerator or what I know we will eat in three days. Then I freeze the rest.
I find it best to freeze each thing individually - so I will freeze just the roast in individual 8-ounce freezer containers *, just the potatoes, and so on. That way I can heat them up for different lengths of time, different people can choose different serving sizes or not choose certain items, etc. I find that if I freeze it on the day I make it and reheat it in the microwave the roast tastes almost as good as the day it was made.
The potatoes and carrots don't fare quite as well - but if nothing else, they can be used as ingredients in other dishes like an upcoming beef stew so they aren't wasted. I also tend to make more roast than I know we will eat on purpose so we will have plenty of leftover roast in the freezer because I know my children will devour it, but try to cook just enough vegetables for one or two meals.
When you try this recipe let me know how you liked it. I hope you enjoy this dinner that is great to make in the morning and it will be ready for dinner time! Just throw it in the crockpot and do whatever you want all day!

Beef Roast Crock Pot Recipe
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 330 minutes
- Total Time: 315 minutes
- Yield: 12 servings 1x
- Category: Main Course
- Method: Slow Cooker
- Cuisine: Paleo
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
This is a simple meal; it is simply a chuck roast with potatoes and carrots with a sauce over it.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prep: Cut all of the potatoes and onions into large chunks. Using large chunks (about 2 inches square) helps to make sure they don’t turn to mush in the slow cooker.
- Add Ingredients: Add the roast to the crockpot, then the rest of the ingredients. The roast should be covered in liquid so, if necessary, add water until it is covered.
- Cooking: Depending on your slow cooker and how fast it cooks will depend on the time. Mine is pretty hot so it took about 5 hours on high/10 hours on low. You will know it is done when you put a fork in it and it just falls apart.
- Serving: Once it is done remove the roast, potatoes, onions, and carrots and enjoy.
- Gravy: You can use the juice over your roast or you can make a gravy by putting it on the stove and bringing it to a boil while whisking in arrowroot starch * or cornstarch to the desired texture.
Notes
- The cooking time varies greatly depending on the cut of meat, the quality of meat, the size of the roast, the brand of the slow cooker, how dry you like your meat, etc.
- I often leave mine on high for up to 8 hours. But I also generally buy roast when it's on a good sale and stock up and freeze it and I buy grass-fed or other high-quality meat and it doesn't get nearly as tough and has more fat and it takes longer to break down.
- So, of course, a frozen solid roast is going to take quite a while just to unthaw. But it's a good way to save money and afford higher-quality cuts of meat.
- My slow cooker is also on the older side and I've heard that newer slow cookers cook at a higher temperature than old ones.
- Check the roast an hour or so before the suggested cooking time and see if it's done to your liking earlier.

this was actually pretty good. I didn't use water, just the 2 cups of broth but I added some worshetershire and browned first. Didn't have potatoes so served over rice. It would have been really bland if cooked on high so I suggest cooking on low.

Cooked on low for 10 hrs. Used yellow potatoes, yellow onions, baby carrots, fresh garlic, and added celery. Only beef broth, no water. VERY heavy handed spices and added some of my own, and a bouillon cube. So delicious and fall apart tender; plenty of flavor. Super easy and my house smelled ahhhhmazing when I came home!

Made this tonight. My chuck roast is not shredding. 🙁 I cooked it for 5 hours on high. Any suggestions to fix this or anyone know what I might have done wrong?
Rebecca
You may just have to cook it longer. I often cook a roast for 8 hours on high to make it extra tender. It totally depends on the slower cooker, cut of meat, quality of meat, how much fat it in the meat, etc.
Kailey Castro
Came out amazing! Followed the recipe exact. The only thing I did different was after everything was done cooking, I removed just the broth from crockpot and transferred to stovetop so I could add a water/cornstarch mixture to the broth and make it into a thick gravy. Having a gravy makes it more hearty and complete.
★★★★★
Nicole D
My family LOVED THIS! - I even made the gravy suggested in the recipe and it turned out decent! I added a little crushed red pepper flakes to the gravy because my family likes a kick of spice. Will absolutely be making again!

So! I used ONE Full teaspoon of ALL seasonings mentioned because it was too bland before. Opted for 4 cups (one box) of beef stock (no water like recommend) and I usually take liquid out once done, add to pot with flour to thicken and make gravy. Also added celery and a bag of frozen peas. ? Family loves and toddler approved. ? Good base recipe but needs some tweaks but I’ve come to perfect it. ?

Added green onion and a few other spices! Turned out great!

So easy and so good! Whole family loved it. Great idea about leaving the potatoes large (I just cut them in half) . When everything was finished, I made them into mashed.
10 hours low, used low salt beef broth, seared with olive oil after sprinkling with Adobo
★★★★★
Kay
Not as flavorful as I ex
shay
could i use red potato?
Rebecca
Totally, as long as your aren't strict Paleo. Even then, a lot of Paleo people are starting to eat white potatoes. I like to just cut them in half if they aren't too big, or even whole if they are really small. Just do about inch cubes as a general rule.
Rick
Of course you can. It's your dinner. You can use Sweet potatoes if you want to. I added cut celery, a rounded teaspoonful of Tone's beef base and a half teaspoon of Fennel seed to the mix while I was assembling it. The entire 4lb. chuck roast dinner was wiped out in one meal. Everyone said it was Yummy. I made another one just like it the next day so I'd have 'leftovers'.
★★★★★
Monica Magana
Made this today, I tweak it a bit doubled seasonings, added rosemary, I also salted & peppered the meat before I put in in crockpot, as well as poking holes & sticking pieces of fresh garlic in it & I put celery & onion underneath meat. I used chicken stock instead & added Worcestershire to stock. It was delicious & super tender.
★★★★★
Alexis
Hello! I would like to make this tomorrow but am wondering how long it would take to cook on low? I work about 10 hours and am wondering if that would be about how long it might be able to sit in there. I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks. 🙂
Rebecca
Sorry it's taken me so long to answer, but 10 hours on low sounds just about right.
Anita
I absolutely love pot roast in a crockpot. Its perfect for a big family. We have 5 kiddos an hubby so this went along ways. Its definetly a no fail. This is such a great recipe. Thanks for sharing. Its March now in Kentucky where I live an we really haven't seen winter this year. We only had one snow an it was a dusting. But that's okay I'm not complaining. ?. I'd much rather have the warm weather. Again thanks for sharing an have a blessed day.

Rebecca
Thanks for your nice comments. Crock pots are nice any time of the year, huh?
Gail
I usually sear my roast on all sides before putting it into the crock pot. This recipe has no mention of this step. I'm going to give it a shot and follow your directions. I'd love to be able to omit that step if it's not necessary. I'm hoping that it turns out as delicious as it sounds. Wish me luck!
Rebecca
It's one of those things that's not necessary, but it does give it good flavor and seal in the juices if you do. I just like to keep things simple and it's an extra step I don't usually have time for. Plus, lots of times I put a completely frozen roast in my crock pot and searing wouldn't work anyway. How did it turn out for you?
Nikki
Can I put the roast in completely frozen? How would that vary the cooking time and cooking level?
Rebecca
I often use a frozen roast. It may take a little longer, but I never really notice much of a difference, maybe half an hour. And I cook it at the same level.
Tina
I have kind of a blonde question as I am a new cook lol. So after I add all the ingredients in th me crockpot I literally just fill it with water until the roast and everything is under the water? Or just wet? Thank you!
Michelle
Just enough broth to cover the roast (the recipe says use 2 cups of beef broth, but if the roast isn't covered by that, add more water until just the roast is covered with liquid). The vegetables will steam while the roast cooks, so they don't need to be covered in liquid. Good luck!
Rachel
Made tonight and is delicious. Up until the start of 2016 it was very mild here in CT too... But we're expecting our first "real snow" this upcoming weekend.

Do you cover EVERYTHING with the water/broth or just the actual roast?

Just cover the roast.

Where do you get gluten free beef broth/stock? My son has celiac don't have to be super mindful of the gluten ingredients
Rebecca
I usually just make my own bone broth, but every once in a while when I buy broth, I just buy it at Costco and it's gluten free and doesn't have any added ingredients, so I don't think it's too hard to find gluten free broth, but I could be wrong?
Joi
Looks delicious! As a mother of three daughters, I just had to comment and say that your little girl is an absolute doll. I'm sure it's impossible to resist those big beautiful brown eyes! God bless you and your precious family. - Joi ("Joy")
jennifer
This recipe looks great! I'll be making it this weekend. When you buy a 2 to 3 pound roast and cut it in half, does that mean you leave the rest of the recipe the same but with a 1.5 pound roast?
Rebecca
It is totally up to how much meat you like having. If you like more of the other stuff and less meat that works great. If you like a lot of meat you can just downsize the rest slightly.

Hi there! Instead of cut potatoes, can i use full little potatoes with skin on?
Rebecca
Should be fine, cutting up makes the potatoes to cook sooner than if they were full potatoes.

janice ciravola
can you use more broth in stead of water to cover the roast?
Rebecca
It will make the flavor pretty strong but you should be fine to do that if you prefer.
janice ciravola
ok thank you
Amanda
If I make only half a pot roast (approx. 1.5 lbs), how long should I cook it for?
Rebecca
It might take a little less time to cook but not a ton. I would just periodically watch it and see until it is tender and falls apart is a sign it is cooked.
Jen
I have had this with my family many times, soooo delicious!!
Never put Italian seasoning in with, but to try, sounds good. Plus always wondered what like with brown gravy, need try that also sometime also, THANKS FOR IDEAS!!!!
Brittany
Mine came out red inside, is it supposed to?? I defrosted the meat in the microwave but the middle was still partially frozen. Put it in the crockpot around 10:30am and boyfriend took it out at 6pm and put it in the fridge for me. When I went to hear some up it looked like it wasn't even cooked through long enough, unless it's supposed to look red?
Rebecca
The meat should not be red in the middle. It should work to cook it longer in the crock pot. When it is still frozen even partially it will take longer to cook because we know it is done when the temperature gets high enough and when it is frozen it will take longer to get to that point.
Laura Jabri
looks delicious, thank you for the recipe
Mary
What kind of potatoes did you use? Thanks!
Rebecca
You can use what type of potato you prefer. I like to use russet or yukon gold but I have also had it with red. 🙂
Wendie
Can the roast be put in the crock pot frozen? Thanks
Rebecca
Cooking it while frozen will take a little longer to cook but it should be fine.
Rebecca
Yes it can, it will just take longer for it to cook through.

Did you just follow the recipe as it states above but added 2 packs of dry gravy mix when you added the broth? Thanks

Im going to make this over the weekend and I was thinking about throwing a packet of Brown gravy in it also ... thoughts?

I love this recipe, I'm actually going to try it tomorrow. Since your recipe is for 2-3 pounds I'm going to cut mine in half and freeze the other half so we have a future roast! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Carmen Wilson
Last night , I prepped all the ingredients and put them inside the crockpot overnight in the refrigerator. This morning I turned it on low for about seven hours and it turned out delicious. The only thing I would change is to add a little more potatoes and a little more carrots. I did sprinkle it with a little kosher salt ( just a bit) and added this seasoning found in the Latin section called Adobe seasoning after I cooked it. oh, my no left overs.
Kristen Dewitt
I was looking for a simple and fast crock pot roast recipe! Can't wait to try this!!!

I just have to say- O.M.G. I've never made a roast before in my LIFE but this was SOOO good. The flavor it gave the vegetables is to DIE for. I absolutely love the simplicity of the ingredients, none of the packaged stuff I'd never have on hand. I was a little sad I wasn't able to use the juices of this wonderful stuff to make gravy, but that's not on the recipe, I just can't make gravy to save my life. Found this on Pinterest, this is going to be my go-to recipe for years and years and years! Thank you so much!

Let me know! Looks delish and I'm in need of a home cooked meal
Rebecca
Personally, I would either make a bunch and eat the leftovers for a few days or I would half the recipe before you cook it and freeze that then cook it later but it will be all ready to go later.
Elizabeth Rohrbaugh
Yay! so exited for this recipe! I have a one year old who is going to love it- and a picky husband who says hes not picky.. but he really is. haha. My grandmother used to make pot roast in the crock pot, but i never knew how she did it- i used a fair amount more potatoes and less onion- so hopefully it will turn out well. also seasoned my beef before putting it in- Thanks so much for your recipes!
Rebecca
Just curious how it turned out. I would love some feedback. . .

Hi! This recipe looks really delicious. Do you feel like you need to add flour to thicken the gravy at all? Thanks a lot!

You can use the juice over your roast or you can make a gravy by putting it on the stove and bringing to a boil while whisking in flour to the desired texture.

Made this tonight but 5.5 hours on high was not enough for my 2.5 pound chuck t for fall - apart meat. I added celery. I also added mushrooms and chopped parsely at the last 30 minutes. I also added 2 bay leaves and would add more salt.

I'm cooking this today and I was wondering if I put it on low how many hours does it need? I'm leaving for work and it will be overcooked if I put it on high. Thanks!
Rebecca
Sorry if we weren't fast enough. I would say cook it for 7 or 8 hours on low.
Katie
Do you know how many hours this would be on low heat?
Rebecca
Katie it would be about 7 or 8 hours on low heat. It would depend on your crock pot and how it cooks and how you prefer it to taste.
Yelena Leychik
I would love to try this recipes, btut here is one problem. My hubby cant have beef due to it agrivating his gout. What else can I make it with? Also... Can I add mushrooms?
Rebecca
You could try it with pork roast. I'm not sure about mushrooms. I'm sure they would be fine but you may want to add them the last hour or two so they are not overcooked.
Betty
I'm eatting this right now! Mmm. I doubled the powder onion and garlic and added a bit of Italian seasoning. I also added celery. It's amazing! It's almost just like my moms roast but much better for me! Thank you!!
Rebecca
I love the feedback! Thank you!
JP
Did i cover my roast with to much water? And, how do I only cover the roast in a slow cooker with water? I covered it, and i have rubber, and i know that is because of too much water.... Recipe was vague for a first timer... I do not understand the "roast has to be covered in liquid" part of your instructions...
Rebecca
You pour liquid on the roast just until it's covered. You don't need to cover the veggies. Covering it with water won't make it rubbery, but if you don't cook it long enough, it will be rubbery. You should cook it until it easily shreds with a fork. The cooking time amount can vary greatly, depending on your roast and your slow cooker.
Kristi F
Yum! I need to try this before the weather gets hot! It looks amazing!

I would love to try this recipe. Pot roast is one of my favorite meals I think mainly because I don't have to stand over it to have supper cooked for the day. However, I do get tired of it prepared the same way over and over. I will try this one this weekend. It seems like a very tasty recipe and I can't wait.
