This recipe makes a good party food. It's portable and easy to eat. But it also makes a great dinner and is one of our favorites! Oh, and it's even better for lunch the next day, especially with some good potato salad!
2 1/2 lb boneless pork roast*
1 (18 ounce) bottle Bullseye Brand BBQ Sauce**
Water
sandwich rolls (we like potato rolls, but any sandwich roll will work great. We've even used regular bread in a pinch.)
Place pork roast in dutch oven and add water just to cover. Cover with lid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over low heat until fork tender and meat can easly be shredded with a fork. Remove from heat; drain, reserving 1/2 cup broth. Using 2 forks, shred meat and add back to dutch oven. Add the entire bottle of BBQ sauce, and the reserved broth. Return to heat and cook over medium/low heat until thoroughly heated.
Yeild: This recipe is enough for two meals for the average family and would freeze well and re-heat easily for a later "time crunch" meal.
*Chicken may be substituted for pork. The cooking time for chicken will be much shorter. Just cook it until no longer pink, then continue as directed for the pork.
**Do not substitue with a "tangy" sauce like Kraft Original. You want that sweet, smokey flavor.
Do you Menu?
Menu Planning may sound like a lot of work, but it's actually one of the laziest things I've ever done. Since I started planning our meals for the week (and eventually the month) I've noticed some improvements in the way we eat and in the way I shop. Knowing what's for dinner not only saves time, it saves money and helps us eat healthier as well.
By planning out the week's meals I can make a more effective list for the grocery store and purchase only those items that we will need for the week. I make fewer impulse and duplicate purchases, and have practically eliminated the mid-week run to the grocery store—not to mention those impromptu take-out nights.
And if you display your menu where the family will see it, you'll never hear the words, "Mom, what's for dinner?" again!
