Sweet and Spicy Pot Roast

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
