I have had this recipe since 1993. It came from a Safeway sales flier and they got it from Cooking Light Magazine. Crockpot cooking is a favorite way to cook in our home and this is one of our favorite recipes.

    Our family likes to have mayonnaise, barbeque sauce and A1 sauce on the table so we can each top our meat according to our personal taste. I do reserve some of the onion, as my husband likes to add the cooked onion to his sandwich. Do not expect leftovers, this meat is so flavorful and tender .... my, oh my!!!
