mediocre to yum!

joyce talked me into (ok, made a suggestion in a tweet) to making faux barbecue in the crock pot. Barbecue, to me, starts with beer while you watch guys dig a fire pit and ends two days later when the meat is ready to come off the smoker... hence the snarky faux. But, I digress. Anyway, I chopped and then tossed everything into the crock pot and had the result for dinner on Saturday. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't that good either.

But, rather than just toss the rest, I thought I'd get it cold first. Today, I hollowed out a roll, buttered and lightly toasted it, filled it with the stuff and topped it with cheese for another trip under the broiler and, damn, if the end result wasn't just quite tasty!

My lunch fare has been sub par recently and this is a lovely little surprise.
