This is my go-to recipe for days when I don’t have time to cook. Days when I just want to throw everything in the crock-pot and let it do the work. My entire family loves the BBQ sauce flavour. Perfect comfort food for a crisp, fall day.

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free and paleo. To make it keto friendly, substitute potatoes for cabbage or turnip.

What do you need for this recipe?

• 1.5-2 lb boneless beef roast or stewing beef
• 1.5 lb baby potatoes
• 1 lb baby carrots
• 1/2 cup sugar free BBQ sauce (I used G. Hughes BBQ sauce)
• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 2 tsp dijon vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves; minced
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp dried rosemary
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

How to make BBQ Pot Roast

Step 1:

In a large crock-pot, add your roast, carrots and potatoes (or cabbage/turnip).

Step 2:In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients and pour over roast.

Step 3:Cover crock-pot and cook on low 5-6 hours.

Key Ingredients & Substitutions:

•   baby potatoes: I used baby potatoes to appeal to my fussy children. If you’re avoiding potatoes or on keto diet, substitute for 1/2 green cabbage roughly chopped or 1 lb turnip (peeled and chopped into chunks) to make it keto friendly

• BBQ sauce: The first ingredient in most store bought BBQ sauce is glucose-fructose. I encourage you to make your own or buy one that has less sugar. I used G.Hughes Sugar Free BBQ sauce, which is refined sugar free and gluten free. Any BBQ sauce will work in this recipe but be mindful that the sugar content will increase. Most store bought BBQ sauces are not gluten-free unless indicated on the label.
