Crockpot BBQ anything!

I made another easy, inexpensive, yummy recipe last night.

Crockpot BBQ Pork or Chicken

1lb meat (I used pork sirloin $1.57)
1/2 jar of BBQ sauce ($0.20 on sale through a Shaws catalina promo)
Rice ($0.25)
Corn on the cob (free from Shaws booklet)

Place meat in crockpot, pour BBQ sauce over it, turn it on low and let sit. If I use frozen chicken, I let it sit all day. The pork last night was really thin and cooked in about 4 hours. The great thing about this recipe is you can serve it as is with sides or shred the meat when it's done and use it in sandwiches, over rice or mashed potatoes. It was really flavorful too!

Grand total was $2.02 for 2 adults and a toddler!

Healthy, Inexpensive Meal

I was asked this week to post some inexpensive recipes, so since I made one tonight, I thought I'd post it. I meant to take a picture, but we ate it up before I remembered to take one!


Pork Stir Fry approx. $2 for 3-4 servings

1 lb Pork Sirloin ($1.69)
2 Packages of Frozen Veggies (free from Shaws booklet free coupon)
1/3 bottle of Kraft Asian Sesame Dressing (part of a recent Shaws promo where I probably spent
less than $0.25 for the bottle)
1 tsp each of Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and Teriyaki sauce

Slice up pork and marinate in dressing for an hour. Place in skillet on medium high and cook until pork is browned. Add vegetables and remaining seasonings. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until vegetables are hot and pork is cooked through. Serve with rice.

This is super easy and very healthy! If you don't have the dressing, you can certainly just use Soy sauce and Teriyaki sauce. There are also Chinese spices out there that can be added. You can get fancy depending on your budget and add more vegetables, bean sprouts or slivered almonds. You can also switch out the pork for whatever is on sale- chicken, steak, pork, or shrimp.

Bon Apetit!
