After 10 1/2 hours cooking time, this made for a very nice easy to cut, fall apart roast, nice and tender. The beef broth, chili sauce together really made for a nice sauce. Spicy, but not too spicy, that gave the roast a nice zing to it. made for onegreat main dish for dinner. Made for Holiday Tag.

I loved this Roast, It was so tender and it just fell apart (just how I like it) it was Spicy but not toooo spicy. A little bit greasy though as can be expected by the ingredients. over all it was fantastic. I will do this one again for sure.
