Recently I received an email from a reader about her go-to pot roast AND its special secret ingredient.
Marlene calls this roast “Dillicious Pot Roast” (I changed it to Dilly Pot Roast to make it easier for readers to search for it on the site- tee hee!). Marlene says “You will not be disappointed, so don’t let the pickles fool ya… It’s the secret ingredient.”
And Marlene was totally right. We loved this roast. So much so it will be featured in our cooking show soon (coming soon!).
Thanks Marlene!

Dilly Crock Pot Roast Notes
- This is a reader submitted recipe by Marlene Chandler– thanks Marlene!!
- This recipe is low in carbs, however some low carb folks don’t like to use cream of mushroom soup. If you don’t mind, this is definitely a roast to throw in your low carb menu rotation that even carb lovers will love.
- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calories 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.

We loved the roast… but just as delicious was the juices we saved as a base for cheeseburger soup. It was perfect with the pickles and beefy flavor as a starter!
Oh I love this idea, Kathi!
So I’m trying to do it more Keto-friendly …
How about subbing a 8oz block of cream cheese, a small package of sliced mushrooms and some seasoning?
Love your recipes! Thanks
Why not just use dill pickle relish.
Hi Chris!
Did you use dill pickles like Mt. Olive brand or Claussen?
Recipe looks great. Thanks
Carrie
Just a question ~ Is this roast really a beef chuck roast? The picture of the meat makes it look like a pork roast in that the meat is lighter. Sounds good! Thanks!
Hi Shirl-
It definitely is a chuck roast (I think the lighting and the gravy are making it look lighter in the photo). However, I do think this would be delicious as a pork roast too! Thanks for the idea! Enjoy!
