Roast beef often found its way to the table on Sundays in my childhood and I’ll always crave it as soon as cold weather hits. This slow cooker chuck roast recipe is so easy that I was able to make this when I was rushing around the kitchen finishing keto bakery orders.

It was fork tender and full of flavor. I made a quick low-carb, grain free gravy at the end and enjoyed delicious keto friendly, low carb comfort food.

I had my heart set on a real pot roast sandwich made with my keto grain free rolls. Putting a pot roast recipe in a slow cooker was an easy thing to do and took a few minutes of preparation.

My rolls were in the freezer and all I needed was a fork tender pot roast.

I like a chuck roast for flavor and make more than I need, as it freezes well and you can make more meals as illustrated in this post on left over roast beef recipes.
