I am all about easy.

This gluten free crock pot roast recipe is paleo, and I dedicate it to all of the meat lovers in your family. This really is the best slow cooker pot roast recipe, because it just doesn't get any easier. It is truly foolproof!

I like to call this my dump and go Crock Pot roast because you just dump the ingredients into your slow cooker. DON'T brown the meat first. NEVER coat the meat in anything. DON'T do anything extra.

This roast doesn't need any special TLC to become great. These rules should help you make the best pot roast dinner :-).

This recipe is whole30 compliant, paleo, dairy-free, and full of protein! You can also use boneless beef chuck roast in this slow cooker pot roast recipe.

We continue to get meat from our organic CSA Prather Ranch. (*please note this is an unsolicited plug. I was NOT compensated in any way to mention them.) Each month is a mystery. We never know what we get until we open up the box. This month, there was a two-pound roast included.

My growing son was so excited about this roast. At 13 and 5'8" he is growing like a weed, and eating us out of house and home in the process. He wanted me to mention he also love this Slow Cooker Pulled Pork (this is awesome for tacos!)

Pot roast is typically braised and then slow-cooked so it becomes tender, almost melting in your mouth. I am a bit lazy and so my roast recipe is not braised. As you can see below, I just dumped it all into my slow cooker. If you have a tough cut of meat, this is the best way to make it tender.

Even without the braising, my easy roast recipe made a delicious dinner our whole family devoured.
