2 1/2 to 3 lbs. chuck roast
1 lg. onion, chopped
1/2 c. celery, diced
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. vinegar
4 tbsp. lemon juice
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. chili powder
1 c. ketchup
1 1/2 c. water

Place beef in a roaster with onion and celery on top. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over beef. Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven until very tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Remove fat and bone, shred meat with two forks while still hot and return meat to sauce. If desired, add salt and pepper to taste after meat is cooked. This makes enough for 15 to 20 sandwiches. It freezes well. to thaw, heat slowly in top of a double boiler.
