I was on vacation last week. My husband, eldest daughter, and I flew out to see the newest grandbaby and spend time with my son and daughter-in-law. It was amazing to cuddle the newest member of our family but I guess I’ve turned into a work-aholic because by the end of the week I was ready to get back home to my real life. I anticipated slipping right back into the routine.

Only that didn’t happen.

So, as I am writing this I’m feeling sluggish because of the high carb, high sugar diet I’ve been indulging in. I’ve been in such a fog that I’ve been forgetting to take my thyroid and ADD meds, too. And there’s been drama so it’s all kind of worked against me. Today I am determined to get back on track.

For me, prepping meals makes staying on low carb easy. I don’t have to think about portions, carbs, or what I’m going to fix for myself when the family is eating pasta. It’s already done and I just need to warm the container up and enjoy my meal.

This slow cooker pot roast is family friendly. No one is going to complain about it! It’s so tender and full of flavor. You can add some potatoes or rice for the family if they need the carbs. The most difficult thing about this roast is putting aside enough to use in your weekly meal prep.

A serving size of meat in my house is 4 ounces. If you use a 3 pound roast you’ll have roughly 12 servings. Hold back half and you’ve got the basic ingredients for 6 meals!

Low carb, slow cooker pot roast recipe makes a lot so you can use it to meal prep several dishes. From lowcarb-ology.com

  1. Thank you! Great recipe. I love the fact that you offered an alternative to using wine. Many recipes do not mention the possibility of being able to sub it out of the picture. Beef stock was a super option. I also serve with green beans. many simmered like you and then pan fried in thick, low carb teriyaki sauce ( G Hughes or any other). Mashed Culilower with chese is another option I am considering. However, to make the mash, I do not have a food processor to use. I’ll try and see if a hand blender could do the trick!! If anyone else has used it please coment on how…
    Thanks again for a tasty recipe.

  2. 5 stars
    Wow, Love the recipe but as I am on a strict “no carb” diet for the first two weeks of this low carb plan and bought a roast without a plan on how to cook it. I assume the carbs in your recipe come mainly from the onion? I can probably leave that out but I am wondering if removing the celery would also help,

    Thanks again,

    Jon

  3. What is the serving size? My husband is on a Low Carb diet and all serving sizes must be recorded. You don’t give it to us, and it is important or I can’t make it! In ounces, how much meat is he allowed per serving? He can’t have potatoes, but he can have vegetables (Atkins, Phase 1). Thanks.

  4. This was soooooo delicious! And it freezes and reheats very well. I paired this with mashed cauliflower. I wanna add green beans this time around as a side. How do you prepare yours?

    1. i do them the southern way – simmer them in a pot then drain them and stir them into bacon grease, bacon, and sauteed onion
