Who said meat & potatoes couldn't be spiced up?? Not me! The addition of horseradish gives this meal the "Zing" you're looking for. This meal can be made in the morning before work and be ready in time for dinner.
Slow cooking produces moist meat, it is ideal for older and/or less expensive cuts. Because an oven isn't used, the slow cooker proves to be economical.
There are so many possibilities with a recipe like this; add/remove vegetables to your own liking, or, change the ingredients around so you won't be bored with this meal. Whatever you decide, this slow cooked meal is sure to dazzle you with it's rich and juicy flavors!!

Hi Peter, this one really sounds great. I'm a little partial when it comes to roast beef and potatoes though. My employer once took us out to dinner and the restaurant was a little (a whole lot) out of my price range. But I ordered from the menu "Roast prime rib of heavy western beef, au jus". Man! that was the tastiest beef I have ever eaten. Too bad I have no clue what was involved in the cooking. The first bite simply exploded over your taste buds! Thanks for sharing this one.
Hmmmmm, I'm hungry and this sounds delisious. Good thing Im in your fan club!
