HEARTY NEW ENGLAND DINNER

Hearty New England Dinner image

This favorite slow-cooker recipe came from a friend. At first my husband was a bit skeptical about a roast that is not made in the oven, but he loves the old-fashioned goodness of this version. The horseradish in the gravy adds zip. -Claire McCombs, San Diego, California
