Dana Jackson’s Pork Roast for singles Brown the meat in a Dutch oven, then salt it and put a lid on and bake it, adding water if necessary, until very tender (3 hours, usually). The first meal is with a baked potato and vegetable and mustard on the meat. Then it makes many meals for 1 person. Trim off the fat, then make serving size packages of the pork and freeze it. Serving suggestions for quick meals with frozen portions: Put bottled barbeque sauce on it and warm up a couple portions. Make a veggie stir fry and add small pieces of pork and season with soy sauce. Put pieces in stir fried and steamed red cabbage and apples. Add it to salsa and beans and put it in tortillas. It's very economical used this way. And it saves me time in preparing meals.
