New England Crock Pot Roast

Submitted by DDW

"I'm not a horseradish fan but my husband is, so when I found this recipe in a Betty Crocker cookbook I decided to give it a try. The horseradish completely mellows into this wonderful flavor that isn't hot or spicy and the gravy made with the juices is so yummy. No extra seasonings needed. The original recipe called for 1 tsp of black pepper but my family found it a bit too peppery so we cut back on that. Be sure to serve buns to clean up the plate with! We think this one is worth a try!"

Good recipe! Made a few changes and it was really excellent. First I seared the roast (rubbed with ground pepper & kosher salted first) in a dutch oven so it was browned on both sides and the juices were sealed in...scraped up the browned bits and added to the pot. Cooked on high ( Not low) for 5 hours (my cut was only 2.65 lbs) adjust for bigger cuts of meat. Everything was cooked just right. Meat fell apart...Yumm!

Dh is the horseradish fan at our house, also. I cooked this in the crockpot for 10 hours but the vegetables didn't quite get done, so I microwaved them to finish. The roast didn't get very tender, but the gravy made up for that shortcoming. I would try this on the stovetop next time. This dish has an excellent flavor.
