Comfort food, easy to put together and once its done dinner is ready! Tender, melt in your mouth pot roast. This is a recipe from my 20 plus year old Betty Crocker cookbook. note: I don't always have (and rarely do have) horseradish on hand. In that case I use a dijon mustard. Spreading a layer of horseradish all over the outside of the meat is the secret to making this pot roast. Contrary to what you might think, the horseradish doesn't add a hot or spicy flavor. Instead, it mellows during cooking, leaving behind a delicious flavor you can't quite put your finger on.
