Original Post

I am posting two recipes this week. I usually make these recipes together since they both use a roast and our family can't eat a whole roast in one night. They are, again, really simple (but yummy). What can I say? I'm all about quick and painless. Sean likes both of these recipes with beef, but I feel it is a shame to use a delicous beef roast on a sandwich. I kinda like using pork because it is sweeter.

First Night- BBQ Roast Beef Sandwich

Ingredients:

Pork or Beef Roast

Hamburger Buns

BQ Sauce

Preparation:

Put roast in crock pot over night (this is important so that the roast will be super tender and easy to shred). All you need to add is 1-2 cups of water. But by all means, season it with what you'd like. Our family likes it plain and beefy..or porky. Shred roast. Butter buns. Put buns on cookie sheet in oven. Broil on low until bread is toasted. Put meat on bun, add BBQ sauce, eat up.
