Hey Angie, quick and easy I can do...I'll pop in to Jane's for the 'real deal'

RE: Shredded Beef
Someone asked on my page: Yes, I cook the meat all night. It ends up cooking on low for about 18 hours before shredding. You can also cook on high if you pop the roast in early in the morning. Personally don't do this as I have a very old slow cooker.

Thanks Angie.
agree with Mary, looks quick and easy, and I can do it as well.
and will join Mary at Jane's for the 'real deal' !!

Hey Dahlia, shredded pork is something I have often heard about, but wondered what on earth it was.Now thanx to this wonderful site....I know!!

Never heard of it before Mary.
