• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder

Instructions

1. Rinse meat well and pat dry with paper towel.
2. In small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon chili powder and garlic salt together. Rub on outside of roast, then place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
