"Just Like" Cafe Rio's Sweet Pork

From: Favorite Family Recipes Blog
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds pork rib roast
  • 36 ounces+ Coca-cola (NOT diet)
  • 1/4 cup + 1 cup brown sugar
  • dash garlic salt
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4.5 ounces canned sliced green chilies
  • 8 ounces canned red enchilada sauce
  • cooking spray
Directions:
  1. Put the pork in a heavy duty Ziploc bag, add 6 ounces Coca-cola and 1/4 cup brown sugar and let marinade for a few hours or overnight.
  2. Grease slow cooker with cooking spray.
  3. Drain marinade and put pork, 6 ounces Coca-cola, garlic salt and water in slow cooker.  Cook on high for about 3-4 hours, or until it shreds easily.  Don't let it get too dry.
  4. Remove pork, drain any remaining liquid, shred and return to (newly greased with cooking spray) slow cooker.
  5. In a food processor or blender, blend 6 ounces Coca-cola, chilies, enchilada sauce and 1 cup brown sugar. If it looks too thick, add more coca-cola little by little. Pour over shredded pork in slow cooker and cook on low for 2 hours.
