Garlic Herb Pot Roast Dinner

Gluten Free Living – 2023

Garlic Herb Pot Roast Dinner is one of those lip-smacking main dishes I truly enjoy. I am always on the look out for healthy main dish ideas (especially with beef–my weakness). I had been thinking about making a simple Pot Roast recipe but adding green beans and butternut squash to provide a little variety. I also included garlic, herbs and celery to round out this one-dish meal.

Back in March, I found myself craving a pot roast dinner. I had several beef roasts in my freezer and needed to start using them up. I came up with this easy slow cooker recipe. Everything is tossed into the crockpot and then the green beans are added last (since they don’t take as long to cook). I was really pleased with how this tasty one-dish dinner turned out. I thought about making gravy, but decided against it and just used the broth from the beef and vegetables cooking down instead.

Everything was delicious and just super easy. While I used dried herbs for this recipe, if you have fresh you can easily swap out the dried for fresh herbs. This is kind of one of those layered casseroles. I just placed everything in one of those rectangular crock pots and let it go to work!

Garlic Herb Pot Roast Dinner is a healthy main dish entree for those who have a beef obsession (like me) but also want plenty of vegetables to go along with it–and don’t want a thousand calorie dinner, to boot! Enjoy.

Garlic Herb Pot Roast Dinner is so easy to toss together since the ingredients are layered in the crock pot.

My regular Pot Roast recipe includes potatoes and carrots. This one has celery, onions, butternut squash, and green beans as well. So delicious.

The herbs add so much flavor so you don’t need quite as much salt and pepper.

Here’s what I did.

While you can make gravy from the drippings in the crockpot if you desire, I decided to eat the roast without all those extra calories!
