Notes
recipe adapted from BHG.comYou can control the heat by the amount of chipotle pepper you put in. I used 1 1/2 peppers and scraped as many seeds as I could out of the inside of the pepper as that is what adds the heat. Just use a teaspoon or so of the sauce to get the smoky flavor, without the heatA top round roast, bottom round roast or a tri tip roast can be used in place of the chuck roast.
