I made this last night and you were right..there is nothing like have dinner done by the time you get home:) I served it on bulkie rolls with a salad and we loved it! My son who works at the Texas Road House considers himself a beef/pork Connoisseur recommended we add bbq sauce & that tasted really good too:) This even got the seal of approval from the pickest member of the family!

Lisa–I am so glad your family liked it! I like your son’s idea of adding BBQ sauce. As far as I’m concerned, there’s no such thing as too much BBQ sauce! Thanks for letting me know!
