Favourite Recipe of the Moment

Found this in the most recent issue of Chatelaine (chatelaine.com)

I tried it, it worked, am still thinking about it and wishing there were leftovers still left in the fridge.

This is a test kitchen favourite! With only four ingredients – beer, mushroom soup, barbecue sauce and pork – we were able to capture the crave-worthy rich flavours of pulled pork, but with half the work!
