Roast beef is slow cooked with tangy dill pickles, carrots and onions in this unique but delicious beef dish.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Okay friends, stick with me on this one. I thought Dill Pickle Roast Beef sounded a little odd at first too.
But then I though about a delicious roast beef sandwich topped with dill pickles and realized, this could be really, really good. And it was!
My husband is a huge fan of anything dill pickle, so I figured he’d be on board. He LOVED it! As a matter of fact, the whole family loved it.
Yes, you throw a whole jar of pickles in the pot with your beef, carrots and potatoes. But I promise, things don’t come out tasting too much like pickles.
But everything is infused with a hint of tangy dill flavor, and it’s just perfect.
Even better, this is so easy! You literally put everything in the slow cooker and walk away. Eight hours later, dinner is served.
You don’t have to eat the pickles at the end, but they were surprisingly good–a bite of roast with a little bit of pickle–it was fabulous!
In fact, one of our favorite things about this meal, besides that actual beef itself, was the pickles. My youngest couldn’t get enough of them.
I honestly wasn’t expecting everyone to love this as much as they did, but I was pleasantly surprised.
So if you love roast beef, and you love pickles, it’s a pretty safe bet you’ll love this tender, slow cooked roast beef. It’s an easy, one-dish meal that takes minutes to put together and leaves everyone feeling satisfied.

Hi, Danelle. This recipe looks great! I’m going to try it this Sunday. Curious as to what kind of beef roast, though? A good chuck roast?

A chuck roast will work great!

It was wonderful! The family really liked it, and the pickle brine added an interesting twist to the vegetables based on how they absorbed the flavor.
