Slow Cooker Dill Pickle Pot Roast

This slow cooker dill pickle pot roast is so tender and moist I know that you’ll love this recipe. The bonus is the recipe makes its own gravy. I grabbed a couple of packets of Idaho Instant Mashed Potatoes to go with it from my pantry. They are short-term food storage items, but that works for me.

I buy only what I can use in about six months because that’s the shelf life of these gems. No peeling, no scrubbing, no chopping, just boil water and add the contents. The great thing is they taste and have the consistency of regular spuds. Yay!

This dill pickle pot roast is tender, juicy, moist, and makes a delicious gravy. You just set and forget the slow cooker and dinner will be done in 10-12 hours.

Dill pickle juice is actually a great meat tenderizer. This meat just falls apart, it’s so darn tender. If you have family members who are meat and potato people, this recipe will be perfect for them.

Use a Garlic Roller to remove or shed the garlic skins. You basically place a garlic clove inside the roller and roll your hand on a cutting board or counter. It magically removes the skins. You will love using this awesome kitchen tool.

    I never thought about adding dill pickles. I do my chuck roasts in the oven, because my slow cooker isn’t big enough. I add two cans of button muhrooms and two bags of frozen baby carrots. (lots of leftovers) I prefer the frozen carrots, because as they thaw, they absorb the juices, making them twice as tasty. We use Better than Bullion and baby onions. I have been know to use my Dutch oven, and add cleaned but unpeeled baby potatoes. Salt, pepper, accent and parsley to taste. Full meal with only one pot to wash. Add bread and butter and dinner is done.

    1. Hi Chris, thank you for the 5 stars, my sweet friend! I love Better Than bouillon! I need to remember the baby onions! I was lucky because the butcher had a tall chubby pot roast located at the back of the meat counter! I can’t wait to use my Dutch oven since we moved! Love it! Linda

  2. How did you cook a roast for 12 hours, have your family eat it, and then give it 5 stars when the recipe just published this morning?

    Hi Linda:
    This recipe sounds fantastic but I will have to forgo it. Yes I could forgo the garlic but dill pickles have to much salt in them for my family. Yes we eat some dill pickles (in my potato salad) but the juice would be what would cause us problems as we all have high blood pressure. I still think it would be a fantastic Recipe and I will save it for 4th Sundays at church when they have a meal after church. each month.,

    1. Hi Jackie, thank you for the 5 stars, my sweet friend! Boy, high blood pressure is not good. I totally understand. Your potato salad is the best recipe ever! Linda

    Sounds good when i can afford a roast. Have you ever tried Dill Pickle bread? I have worked on it but haven’t in a while need to get back to it. It is surprisingly good.

    1. Hi June, oh I hear you on the roast prices! Luckily I was able to feed a lot of people with that 5-pound roast! I have made dilly bread! That’s a great reminder! Linda
