My kids have been hounding me to write down some of my 'creations', so this recipe is a result of that 'pressure'... ;-) If you decide to use beef or venison, be sure to throw in a bay leaf. Feel free to experiment with some of your favorite spices/herbs. I may try this with chicken one of these days too. A nice crusty bread goes well with this.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb cubed pork roast (or beef roast, or venison roast, or stew meat--i use left-over)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
salt (to taste)
2 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
