my midwestern "cold remedy" pot roast
(2 ratings)
Searching for that "Grandma's house smells so good" pot roast dinner? Look no further! ;) It took me several years to perfect this, and I'm really happy with it. Don't be fooled by the mustard and horseradish, the flavors mellow as it cooks, and tastes like you literally stepped back in time...so hope you try this, it's really wonderful (if you don't mind me saying so myself!) ;) :D Enjoy!! (Terrible old photo by me, don't let it scare you off! LOL!)
