Beef and horseradish are a perfect match in this easy slow cooker horseradish pot roast. The roast cooks all day with seasonings, horseradish, mushrooms and onion, a perfect Sunday Dinner.
We love cozy meals any time of year! We also make slow cooker whole chicken and slow cooker beef tips when we are craving comfort food.
Today I have this wonderful Slow Cooker Horseradish Pot Roast. Not all people LOVE horseradish, and some are afraid to try.
Trying horseradish isn’t scary at all! It’s similar to wasabi, actually horseradish is often used to make wasabi. The horseradish in this recipe isn’t overpowering, just a great lingering flavor in this meal.
Ingredients for Horseradish Pot Roast
This from-scratch roast has simple ingredients. Find the full recipe in the recipe card below the images.
- Chuck roast – A four-pound chuck roast works great in this recipe. We use this cut in our shredded beef dinner as well.
- Seasonings – Salt, pepper, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Cream horseradish – I buy this in a jar in the ketchup section of the store. The brand I use is Beaver.
- Beef broth – The beef broth helps keep the horseradish beef roast moist.
- Vegetables – A perfect accompaniment to the roast is onion and mushrooms.
Variations and Tips
You can make this recipe your own! Here are some great ideas.
- Other cuts of beef can be used, such as bottom beef roast or eye of round.
- Add baby gold or red potatoes to make this a complete meal.
- A can of beer can replace the beef broth for even more flavor. Red Wine is also a great choice instead of beef broth!
How to Make Horseradish Pot Roast
This recipe comes together so quickly in the crockpot. Here is how to to do it:
- Start by browning the roast in cooking oil in a skillet on the stove top.
- Sprinkle over the salt, pepper, and oregano. Spread the horseradish over the entire roast.
- Place the mushrooms and onion on top.
- Pour over the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Set the slow cooker on low and cook for 9-10 hours. This long cooking time ensures a tender roast.
Best Ways to Serve
You can’t have a roast without some sides, here is how we serve it:
- Mashed potatoes go great with beef and horseradish. Try my slow cooker mashed potatoes.
- Make sandwiches with the beef! Pile the meat on buns and add additional horseradish. Or go ahead and make my slow cooker horseradish beef sandwiches.
- An economical way to serve is over steamed white rice.

“I make this recipe often, especially in the fall and winter months. I love fresh baby bella mushrooms instead of white mushrooms and typically use a can of beef consommé or red wine. The leftovers make amazing beef stroganoff or french dip sandwiches!”

My family enjoyed this one thank you!
Do you make your delicious recipes in a cookbook??
I only have an ebook that’s quite a few years old, I apologize.
In the horseradish roast by creamed horseradish do you mean the stuff that looks like mayo or the regular horseradish that says cream on it?
It’s regular horseradish that says cream on it, I will add that info, thank you.
MY question…Did anyones Mushrooms come out Rubbery? Any time I have cooked shrooms in the crock, they got tough. I think Sauteeing them First might help. I’m making this today.
Delish!! Amazingly good! Thank you!
Oh, gosh, this is really good!
I only cook for myself, so I used part of a chuck roast, just under 2 pounds.
I did not have cream horseradish, but I had regular prepared horseradish that needed to be used up.
Also, I had a small amount of red wine, which I used to deglaze the pan after browning the meat, and I cooked it down until it was syrupy, then added the broth and other ingredients.
Didn’t have fresh mushrooms, so I used a jar of Pennsylvania Dutch mushrooms, which were an acceptable substitute.
Also, by the time I found this recipe, it was late in the day, so I used the Instant Pot instead of the slow cooker.
I made gravy from the liquid in the pot, and it was well seasoned and flavorful.
I really enjoyed the taste of this pot roast, and will make it again.
Don’t be intimidated by the horseradish. It adds great taste, and a unique flavor to the meat.
I served it with mashed potatoes and sautéed fresh Brussels sprouts.
Best meal I’ve had in a long time.
It is also company worthy.
Thank you Sarah!
I love your tips, thank you!
How long did you put it in the pressure cooker for? Did you use and Instant Pot or a stove top cooker? Thanks!
Can I cook this on high for 5-6 hours instead?
Can I substitute a rump roast for the chuck roast?
Yes! will work great!
I DID
Can this be cooked on high in the slow cooker?
Yes, I would think about 6 on high. I don’t have luck with less time with roasts.
Can it be frozen after its cooked?
