This would be a lot healthier if you substitute boneless, skinless chicken breasts instead of using the rump roast. Just a thought...

Root Beer BBQ Beef Sandwiches
I was very disappointed in these. How can these be healthy. White buns, BBQ sauce high in salt and sugar, root beer again high in sugar. Which bit is eating better? Might taste good but so do a lot of things. This recipe needs a total overhaul.

Love, love, love this BBQ!
My husband made this recipe last week and we both loved it. It was really easy to make and so delicious! Might have to make a big batch of it for a summer backyard get-together.
