sunday dinner

On Sunday, I was faced with the dilemma of not having a dinner plan. Since it was pretty warm outside and I didn't want to use the oven, but still wanted to make enough of something that I'd have leftovers for lunch at work, I decided to use my crockpot.

I found this recipe in one of my cookbooks and decided to make it. I had all the ingredients on hand except the piece of meat. The recipe says to use beef, but I used pork. I also halved the recipe, since my pork roast was only 2.5 lbs.

Halfway through cooking:

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can eat the meat multiple ways. I ate it on noodles the first night, on sandwiches, and made wraps out of it as well.
