Mexican Coca Cola Pulled Pork Recipe 485

Steps:

• 1. Rinse pork roast thoroughly and dry with a paper towel. Set inside, fat side up, into slow cooker.
• 2. Mix spices and barbecue sauce together and pour over the pork roast.
• 3. Pour Coca-Cola over the roast.
• 4. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours or low for 10 hours.
• 5. Cut roast in half and carefully remove from slow cooker and place in a large bowl.
• 6. Remove and discard bones.
• 7. Reserve 1/2 cup of liquid from the slow cooker and dispose of the rest.
• 8. Shred meat using two forks until all the large pieces are broken up.
• 9. Add reserved liquid and add barbecue sauce. Depending on how saucy you wish it to be will determine how much to add. Stir well.
• 10. Set heat to low and cook 30 more minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place roast in a 5 quart crock pot. Season with garlic, onion, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Add liquid smoke and pour in Coca-Cola until it reaches nearly the top of the roast (or covers it depending on the cut of meat).
• Set Crock Pot on low heat and cook for 8-10 hours.
• When ready to serve, remove roast from Crock Pot to a platter. Remove any bones and trim all fat. With a fork, begin "pulling" pork apart into thin shreds. Add barbecue sauce and fold into meat.
• Serve pulled pork on a burger bun or on its own.
• Note: If preparing this dish for a potluck, pour 1 cup of Crock Pot liquid into a measuring cup and discard the remainder. Then return pulled pork to Crock Pot, set on warm or low heat setting, add 1/2 cup of reserved liquid (to keep the meat from drying out) and cover until ready to serve. If the meat is in the Crock Pot for more than one hour, add more liquid as needed for moisture.
