Sweet and Spicy Pot Roast is sweet from cranberry sauce and spicy from hot white horseradish. Cinnamon sticks and cloves round out the flavor. It is a melt in your mouth treat. Add potatoes, noodles or any grain of your choice. You definitely need something extra to soak up all that yummy sauce!
I use Top of the Rib for this pot roast like my Mother always did. It’s less expensive than Brisket and more tender. I always make two Tops of the Rib at once. If I’m not serving a crowd, I freeze half of it for another meal. Should you have any leftovers, Sweet and Spicy Pot Roast makes terrific sandwiches and can even be spooned into a pre-baked pie crust, covered with mashed potatoes and served as a Beef Pot Pie! Enjoy!

Note: An alternative cooking method is to place meat and and all ingredients except for onions and carrots in a 275° F. oven for 2 1/2 hours. Add the vegetables and place back in the oven for another 2 1/2 hours. The sauce will be more intense and the gravy will be thicker.
Prep time: 25 minutes
