Quick and Easy Beef and Rice

1 C. rice

1 tsp. chili powder

In a large skillet, cook ground beef with onion until the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

Easy Barbecue Pork

Place a pork roast, usually a shoulder roast, into the crockpot and add about 1 cup of barbecue sauce. (She uses Head Country, but we like KC Masterpiece, so just use your favorite.) Then cook on low for 7-8 hours. When it is done, shred the meat and add a little more sauce to it.

Someone told her to add a Dr. Pepper in with the roast and BBQ sauce. She said it gave it a little different texture and caramelized the taste, but was very good.

I think I’m going to have to try this. I had a friend that always added a coke to her’s, but I’ve never been brave enough to try it. Being a diabetic, I wonder if I could use a diet drink and it would work the same? Any ideas? Susan
