Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 (4 pound) beef chuck roast
• 1 cup chili sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 2 teaspoons white sugar

Instructions

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place the roast in the pan, and brown on all sides.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low, and pour in the chili sauce, water, and vinegar. Season with chili powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder and white sugar. Simmer over medium-low heat for 3 hours, or until meat is fork tender. Remove beef, and refrigerate overnight. Reserve sauce, and refrigerate.
