This was delicious. Made it in the crockpot and varied it only slightly. The Pork Roast was 5lbs after trimming fat, so added a little extra of most of the spices. E.g., doubled the taco seasoning and garlic (but halved the chili powder - not so fond of that flavor). Was concerned it needed liquid, so added 1/4C water and to address the need for more spice, added 1/3C Pace Picante Sauce. The meat was very flavorful, as was the sauce. This would be an excellent way to make a delicious meal out of a cheap cut of meat. But be sure to trim all visible fat or you will have to skim it later. This is definitely a keeper!

This was just what I remembered as a child. I personally like it dressed up a bit, so couldn't give it any more than four stars. However, it was a great base to start with. I added onions, worcestershire (sp), garlic, and beef bullion. Served it over some leftover rice, with steamed veggies on the side, along with the Flakey Whole Wheat Biscuits, also from this site. Yum! And it's not only cheap, but it's also a fast and easy recipe, with quick clean up afterwards.

These are great. Sometimes I make them using only whole wheat and they turn out great then too. I make enough for leftovers; I slice them up and pop them in the toaster, then cover them with sandwich fillings (e.g., deviled ham). They are also great split and put under the broiler with cheese and tomato.
