Barbeque Beef or Pork, 1 Recipe 2 Meals

Do you love barbeque sauce?  Do you love barbeque beef or pork?  Then you will love this easy homemade recipe.  It is fast, healthy, and inexpensive to make.  The best part, if you are a busy homemaker like me, it's two meals in one.

Meal #1

Ingredients:

• 4-6 lbs Beef or Pork roast
  
• 2 cans (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (I puree because we have an issue with the chunks.  It's a texture thing, as my sister would say.)
  
• 1 can (29 oz) peaches or pears in light syrup
  
• 2 Tbl Worcestershire sauce
  
• 1 1/2 Tbl apple cider vinegar
  
• 2 tsp mustard
  
• 3/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Preheat the oven to 350.  In a roasting pan brown the roast on both sides.

   In a medium bowl combine tomatoes, 1/3 c light syrup from can of peaches or pears, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, mustard, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder.  Add to roast and coat completely.

   Cover and bake, turning once, until tender, 1 3/4 to 2 hours.  If sauce thickens too much, add a little hot water.

   Serve half the roast with your favorite side dish, and for dessert top the peaches or pears with some cinnamon or your favorite topping.

Meal #2

Take the other half of the roast and remaining barbeque sauce, and in a sauce pan add 1 c water.  Then simmer until sauce thickens and roast can easily be shredded.  You can freeze for another meal later in the month, or serve the next day for lunch between two whole grain hamburger buns with a side of Homemade Sweet Potato Fries (recipe coming soon) and a side salad.

This is one of my favorite summer recipes.  Do you have a favorite recipe for summer?
