- I found searing the roast prior to cooking does ‘locked in’ the juices and yes it does give your meat an ‘edible’ appeal..after all, food presentation is satisfying your visual appetite, the other 50%, of course satisfies your taste sense

- I do not use veggies for this horseradish roast, I serve with wild rice and make gravy from the roast liquid..I also serve with a green veggie like pan-roasted asparagus

- instead of salt/pepper on the meat, after I massage the roast with horseradish I sometimes coat well with steak rub…lots of flavor going on with this pot roast…but my family LOVES it!

If anything, it draws out more liquid from the surface. The flavor comes from the browning, which creates all those carmelized sugars and crunchy carbon chains that explode on your tongue. It the same reason you deglaze the pan when making gravy. Only here you are sort of "pre-glazing" the meat instead. Actually, the searing doesn’t “lock in” the juices.

I thought I'd share the reason that you brown the meat before putting it in the slowcooker. It is to sear the outside which helps to lock in the flavour of the meat. I also sometimes skip this step, but can always tell when it comes to taste! This was wonderful – the h/r was a great addition to the norm!

The combination really kicks it up a notch, Great dish when entertaining.

This term is traditional in honor of the classic New England boiled dinner, which is mainly vegetables. You can, of course, name a recipe anything you want when you share it.

This is a favorite of mine, because I got my first crockpot (excuse me, slow cooker) as a hand-me-down from my mom. She gave me the cookbook this came from with it, and this recipe had her hand-written notes on it. That always makes it special to me. I'm glad to share it. Oh, I’m glad it worked for you!
