Copycat Café Rio Pork

3 lb. pork roast
16 oz. salsa
1 can of Coca Cola
1 can green chiles
2 cups brown sugar
water

Fill your crock pot with just the roast, and fill it half way with just the water.
Cook on high for 5 hours.
Take the pork out after the 5 hours, and drain the liquid.
Cut the roast into 3 or 4 sections and place back into the crock pot.
Puree the salsa and chiles in the blender and transfer to a bowl.
Add the Coke and brown sugar and mix.
Pour over the roast and cook on high for 3 more hours.
Shred with a fork.


I definitely don't think this is an exact copycat, but it was good nonetheless!
