Way back in the archives on the blog there's a recipe called Stove Top Pot Roast with Mushrooms and Sage, and when I stumbled across it recently, it inspired me to create a slow cooker version of pot roast smothered with mushrooms. The other inspiration for this Low-Carb Slow Cooker Mushroom Lover's Pot Roast was a new brand of mushroom bouillon cubes that I just had to try in a recipe!

If you don't have

There are lots of good brands, and if your store doesn't carry them you can follow the link above and see a variety of options on Amazon.com. The one I used had only 2 carbs in a cube, but check the ingredients if you're looking for one that's gluten-free or Paleo. (There are some more photos of mushroom bouillon cubes in the stove top post roast recipe linked above.)

I served this to my niece Kara's family, which has mostly mushroom haters, but everyone liked the pot roast and Kara and I enjoyed the mushrooms. Even the seven year old who isn't a big meat eater ate some of this.

I already shared some Low-Carb Menus for Valentine's Day, but if you didn't pick one yet I think this pot roast would be a hit with Valentines who love mushrooms.
