Italian Roast

This recipe was given to me by my running partner who got it from his mother. It can be used with either beef or pork. I used a sirloin tip roast and let it cook all day in the crock pot. I shredded the meat and served it on buns.

Break the meat apart and shred with forks.

I mixed the ingredients together the night before and put my crock pot liner in the refrigerator.

The next morning I added my roast and let it cook all day. By evening, the meat was tender and ready to shred.

  1. This looks yummy. What exactly do you mean by chili sauce? Is it really spicy? (when I think chili sauce I think Tabasco or cholula, but I grew up in Az and everything is hot there :-).

  2. Oh that looks so good! I am always a fan of anything that can be made in a crock pot. Thanks! This weekend might be a good time to try it.
