Crock Pot Dill Pickle Pot Roast

Move over Mississippi Pot Roast there's a new roast in town! This Crock Pot Dill Pickle Roast is an easy 4 ingredient roast. This Dill Pickle Roast is filled with the flavors of ranch, gravy and of course PICKLES. The best part is that it is just as easy as the iconic Mississippi Pot Roast. All you do is pour everything in and cook for 8 hours!

I saw this delicious recipe on The Magical Slow Cooker and knew I had to try it and make it gluten free. Her recipes are amazing and I love following her for delicious Crock Pot recipes, you should too!

This secret ingredient of pickles adds the perfect balance of tangy to the rich flavors of gravy. The ranch adds all the seasonings so you can just salt and pepper to taste at the end. It doesn't get much easier than that! The pickle juice helps to tenderize the meat making it so you don't even need a knife.

Many people are turned off from the Mississippi Pot Roast because of the pepperoncinis used in the recipe. This pot roast recipe is perfect because it adds the similar vinegar balance to the recipe with no heat at all. Repeat...There is no spicy flavor to this recipe. Plus, the pickle flavor doesn't come through as strong as you might imagine. It adds just the right amount to the recipe!

GLUTEN FREE POT ROAST

This recipe is gluten free. I make everything gluten free in our house because my husband has celiac disease, which is when you are allergic to gluten. Most of the Gravy Packets that are typically used in this recipe are made with wheat flour. Making this roast gluten free is an easy switch! You just use a gluten free gravy packet. I use the Gluten Free Pioneer Gravy packets for all my recipes.

MAKING IT LESS SALTY

Another common complaint about the Mississippi is that it is too salty. Since this roast also has a gravy packet and ranch packet (plus pickles) it can get salty as well. If you prefer less salt I recommend making your own Ranch Packet. The Ranch Packet does have lots of sodium in it and a quick fix is to make on your own ranch. Here’s the link to making your own ranch Homemade Ranch Packet.

LOW CARB

If you are following a low carb diet you can eat this with cauliflower mashed potatoes. This keeps the whole meal low carb. There are carbs in the gravy packet so it's not Keto but still makes a pretty low carb meal.

BEST TYPE OF MEAT TO USE FOR POT ROAST

Chuck Roast or Blade Roast is always the best type of meat to use when making a pot roast. Basically find a label that has roast in the name and use that. A chuck roast is made to cook low and slow which makes it the perfect meat for this recipe. When it cooks on a low temperature it is braising the meat and breaking down the tough meat into tender meat. Do not use a round roast for long cooking times.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CROCK POT DILL PICKLE POT ROAST

Crock Pot Dill Pickle Pot Roast

I can't ever serve a roast without mashed potatoes. I usually have my other Crock Pot cooking these Garlic Mashed Potatoes making dinner easy. You can also buy these Bob Evan's potatoes that you just microwave which is super easy too!

Another delicious side dish with any roast is carrots. If you want you could even add the to the Crock Pot and have them cook with the roast. Just make sure they are cut big so they don't get too mushy by the end of cooking.

      Hi Jenny! I'm so sorry I didn't respond earlier. Au Jus would work great! Hopefully, you went ahead and made it with that and enjoyed it!

    Hey! I don't have mini pickles. Would regular, whole pickles be the same? Just maybe cut them up?

      Hi Celsea! Those will work great too! It is just the pickle juice that helps tenderize the meat and any pickle will give it the flavor. Hope you enjoy it!!

      Hi Kayla! You will add all the actual pickles from the jar and then only 1/2 a cup of the pickle juice. Hope that helps!

    My roast isn’t 5 lbs more like 2 or 3, how does that affect the other ingredients?

    Hi, can you use this recipe with a pork tenderloin instead of the roast?

      Absolutely! Just make sure to not cook it for the full time. I would check after 3 hours to see if it is cooked.
