These were on sale here for $1.37 a pound (I think) and we bought a few
packages. Sometimes I just dump the meat in a Corningware casserole, put in
a few smashed cloves of garlic and a whole onion cut in half... and a little
BBQ sauce. Bake at 300 for a couple of hours until tender, remove the meat
and onion, skim off the fat and thicken the sauce with a bit of cornstarch
and maybe more BBQ sauce if needed.

Good, easy meal.
