The slow cooker is king

The slow cooker is our not-so-secret weapon. While we love our Instant Pot (and we have an Instant Pot Pot Roast recipe too), if we have the time and plan ahead, we'll use our slow cooker. The slow cooker is so easy and you get such tender, fall apart beef roast with this recipe. You also get a house that smells like someone spent the entire day in the kitchen with the slow cooker. We love that!

Such a simple slow cooker beef pot roast recipe

We love simple recipes, and this one is about as easy as it gets for a family friendly meal. Just toss your roast in the crockpot with some bone broth, spices and veggies. That's it! You'll be pleasantly surprised by how tender and juicy it turns out to be. It is kind of like pulled pork and stew got married, and those are two of my favorite things. Anyway, it is simple, fresh and flavorful….and super easy to pull together.

Some options for the vegetables

For convenience sake, we put the vegetables and the roast all together to cook in the slow cooker at the same time. This results in kind of a "soupy" or "stew-like" roast and veggies. We like this, but you may prefer to have your vegetables less on the mushy side. If this is your preference, just add the vegetables in halfway through the cooking time. This should result in vegetables that are cooked through but not as soft. Or, you could even roast the vegetables in the oven – see recipe notes for these instructions.

Slow Cooker Beef Pot Roast with Vegetables (Paleo + Whole30)

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 8 hrs

Total: 8 hrs 10 mins

Servings: 8

This easy, tender and juicy slow cooker beef pot roast with veggies is the perfect family meal. Healthy, real food ingredients make it Paleo + Whole30!

  • 4 lbs beef roast, (a bottom round roast, chuck roast, shoulder or brisket would work too)
  • 1 cup bone broth, (chicken or beef stock)
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into cubes, (or sub equivalent amount of white potato or squash)
  • 2 medium parsnips, cut into cubes
  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, ends removed
  • 1 onion, chopped into medium chunks

For the seasoning:

  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 1 tbsp ground pepper

  • Place all of the seasonings in a small bowl and mix well to make the spice rub.

  • Reserve 1/2 of the spice rub to season the veggies. Massage the remaining 1/2 of the spice rub all over the beef.

  • Place the beef into the crockpot, pour the bone broth in around the beef without pouring it on the beef and removing the seasoning.

  • Add in the rest of the ingredients and sprinkle the seasoning over the veggies.

  • Cook on low for 8 hours.

  • Remove the beef from the crockpot and place it on a cutting board.

  • Shred with two forks or tongs and serve with the veggies from the crockpot.

If you're looking to avoid soft vegetables, you can roast them separately on sheet pans. Just cut the veggies into evenly sized chunks and add them to 1 large or 2 medium sheet pans. Drizzle with a little oil and toss with 1/2 of the seasoning mix. Spread the veggies out in an even layer and roast for 30-35 minutes at 400° Fahrenheit, or until they are cooked to your liking.
