We love pot roast around here. It is Mikey’s favorite dish. So when we aren’t having Mississippi Roast (or the creamy version), we are having Dilly Roast or my Mom’s famous roast.  So when I saw a Balsamic Roast in one of my favorite low carb cookbooks: Easy Ketogenic Diet Slow Cooking, I was totally inspired to make it my own and add it to our rotation. The flavors in this roast are SO different from our other roasts– it was the perfect addition.

How to Make Crock Pot Balsamic Roast

You will never believe how easy this “fancy” roast is to make! You just salt and pepper your roast and then brown on each side in the bacon fat on the saute feature ( in a multi-cooker ) OR if your slow cooker doesn’t have a saute feature, just brown in a skillet on the stove before transferring to your traditional slow cooker. In a bowl, mix together garlic, onion, sugar, vinegar and broth. Pour over your roast and top with the herbs. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Remove herbs and serve with sauce.

 Notes on Crock Pot Balsamic Roast

• We love using a multi-cooker to make this roast to make it a one-pot dish, however, you can use a traditional 6 quart slow cooker and just brown your roast in a skillet on the stove if you do not have a multi-cooker.
• This recipe was inspired by a recipe in one of my very favorite low carb cookbooks.
• If you are counting carbs, make sure to compare labels on your balsamic vinegar. Carb counts vary wildly.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
