~*~BBQ BEEF or PORK- the easiest and tastiest EVER~*~

Hubby and I are supposed to go out for Valentines, but we're also supposed to have yet another blizzard on Valentines Day, so I may be making this recipe instead:

BBQ BEEF

3-4 pound chuck roast or boneless beef ribs*
1 large onion, chopped small
1 12 oz. coca-cola
2 cups Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce
1 cup ketchup OR 1 cup mustard**
1 cup packed brown sugar

• Put the meat and coca-cola in 6 quart crock pot on low for one hour.
  
• Do NOT use high, you can't cook this recipe fast, it just doesn't work.
• After an hour, add the remaining ingredient.
  
• Stir well and put the lid on.
  
• Cook on low for 5 hours.
• When done, meat will be in shreds and fat will have all but dissolved into the sauce.
  
• Serve over mashed potatoes or on buns.
  

*You can use stew eat, but it isn't as good. You need the striation and marbling of fat. The combination of the marbling and the coca-cola tenderizes the meat and makes it yummy.

**Ketchup makes it a little sweeter while mustard makes it more tart.
