Good but had to cook mine many hours longer than stated.

My family loved this easy recipe. I tried to use what I had on hand, so I substituted sweet chili sauce for the apricot preserves and used honey mustard for the mustard. I did use my oven though. I baked the roast for two hours, then sliced it and put it back in the oven for another 30 minutes. Thanks for the recipe.

This was quite good. We liked it better without the bun. It seemed like the bun overpowers the flavor of the bbq, but a great bbq nonetheless.

These are so good. The sauce is just wonderful. I didn't double it and it was plenty for us. The meat came out tender and flavorful. I used both red and green peppers. I will make this again! Thanks for sharing.
