Cafe Rio Pork - Detailed Version

Ok, so Bernice originally posted these 'Cafe Rio' recipes-THANK YOU! But I found that each time I made the pork I wanted a little more direction on how long to cook etc.as I am not terribly familiar with these recipes and haven't been doing them long enough to just wing it. So I went searching around the internet and found this blog where she gives a slight variation to the recipe, but incredibly detailed directions...so for my sake I'm putting her version up here too just because it's easier for me to follow. As far as I know they both taste pretty much identical. I wanted to keep the original on here too, so that's why there are two versions of 'Cafe Rio Pork'... I personally don't do the marinade bit and I still just use 'Pace Picante Salsa' instead of 'Enchilada Sauce' as called for by this recipe and it still turns out just fine. Oh, and I also don't use green chilies because I quite frankly don't do spicy very well, but I imagine if you like the heat it would be nice.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs pork (boneless pork rib meat recommended by author)
• 3 can Coke (NOT diet)
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• Dash garlic salt
• ¼ cup water
• 1 can sliced green chilies
• 3/4 (10 oz. can) red Enchilada sauce (Author uses Old El Paso brand, medium spiciness)
• 1 cup brown sugar

PREPARATION:

1. Put the pork in a heavy duty ziploc bag to marinade. Add about a can and a half of coke and about 1/4 c. of brown sugar. Marinade for a few hours or overnight.
2.  Drain marinade and put pork, 1/2 can of coke, water, and garlic salt in crock pot on high for about 3-4 hours (or until it shreds easily, but don't let it get TOO dry) or on low for 8 hours. Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork.
3. In a food processor or blender, blend 1/2 can Coke, chilies, enchilada sauce and remaining brown sugar (about a cup, you can add a little more or less to taste..). If it looks too thick, add more Coke little by little.
4. Put shredded pork and sauce in crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours. That's it!
