No Comments on BBQ Beef and Pork Sandwiches

4 lbs. (total) beef and/or pork roast

MIX TOGETHER:
1 large can tomato sauce
1 4 oz. catsup
1 C. water
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 T. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. mustard
1 medium onion, minced
1/2 C. celery, chopped
Salt and pepper

Place the beef or pork in 275º oven for 4 hours. Shred roast. Add the sauce. Place in slow cooker and cook until veggies are done to your liking. This is really better the second day when the ingredients have blended. I sometimes mix it up, let it set in the refrigerator overnight, and then start cooking in the early afternoon for dinner, or make the day before and then reheat.
