This is a classic pot roast recipe, but with a twist that makes it a unique standout among its traditional counterparts: The chili sauce adds a sweet and tangy depth of flavor that drives it over the top.

I love to take the leftovers from this roast and turn them into French Dip Sandwiches or Beef Enchiladas. The flavor from the chili sauce is a great accompaniment to these dishes. So if you want to cook it once but make it available for several meals, you would want to double the size of your normal pot roast. I usually shoot for a 5-6 pounder.
This recipe came about from a visit with my friend Whitney, who lives in Charleston. Her fabulous recipe is so simple, but so good!
I usually serve whole wheat rolls, mashed potatoes, and a green side salad with Taco Salad Dressing to go with it.

Simplicity itself! Yet got the flavor we all look for.
Made this for tonight’s supper. It was great and a hit with everyone in the family. Thank you!
can you give me examples of the kind of chili sauce you’ve used
Darlene – I use the Heinz brand, it is like a ketchup with horseradish in it I think…
That sounds like Heinz Cocktail sauce…for shrimp cocktail and seafood!
I’ve made this pot roast for years. I use a chuck roast,2 bottles of chili sauce,onion,& diced carrots. Cook until meat is tender. Serve over egg noodles. DELICIOUS
