New England Pot Roast (Crock Pot)

Thank you for suggesting the crock pot challenge! This is my favorite pot roast recipe, from my trusty Betty Crocker. Secret ingredient? Horseradish.

4 pound beef arm, blade or cross rib pot roast
1 to 2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 jar (8 oz) prepared horseradish
1 cup water
8 small potatoes, cut in half
8 medium carrots, cut into fourths (I usually just use a bag of baby carrots)
8 small onions

1. Cook beef in 12 inch skillet over medium heat until brown on all sides.
2. Place potatoes, carrots, and onions in 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Place beef on vegetables.
3. Mix horseradish, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly over beef.
4. Pour water into slow cooker, cover and cook over low heat for 8 to 10 hours.
