6 Ingredient Slow Cooker Pot Roast (Grain-Free, Paleo)

I’m a huge fan of Lisa’s Chicken in a Crock Pot recipe. I make a variation of it at least once a week with different ingredients. The recipe boggles the mind a little bit because there are no liquids in the ingredient list – the chicken makes its own liquid.

A few months ago I wondered if you could pull off a similar trick with a roast. Guess what? You can! I’ve been making this slow cooker pot roast every Sunday and we’ve enjoyed it as a family. Here are some step-by-step pictures for you so you can see just how easy this is!

The beauty of this recipe is the flexibility. You can use any cut of roast (as long as it’s not a lean cut) and you can vary the vegetables depending on what’s in season. I chose to use sea salt and pepper for seasoning, but you can use your favorite blend to change things up.

Ingredients

• 2 large red onions (you can use yellow if you prefer)
• 1 (3-4 pound) chuck roast or other roast with nice marbling (I do not recommend using a lean cut of meat as the roast may turn out dry)
• 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground cracked pepper
• 4 large potatoes, cut into bite-size pieces (the modern Paleo diet allows for white potatoes on occasion, but if you prefer to avoid them, you can substitute with sweet potatoes or other root vegetable such as parsnip)
• 8 carrots, cut into 1/2" coins

Instructions

1. Place the red onions on the bottom of the crock pot and top with the roast. Season with sea salt and pepper. Place the potatoes around the meat. Cook the roast on low for 6 hours. Quickly, remove the lid, add the carrots, replace the lid and then cook for an additional 2 hours. (I do this because we don't like soft/mushy carrots, but if you prefer carrots on the softer side, you can add them to the crock pot along with the potatoes).
