Sweet pork (Cafe rio)

Use a 2 1/2 lb to 3 lb pork roast. I have been getting the one with the bone in since it is cheaper.  Put it in the crock pot on low for about 6 hours, shred meat and remove all fat and bones. Add 1 cup of salsa (Any brand, any style) and 1 cup of brown sugar. If you like it with more sauce, add more at equal parts to your liking.  Leave in crock pot on low for another hour or so to let the sugar melt. We eat it on a tortilla, with instant rice (Just plain, no seasonings or soy sauce) black beans (Straight form a can, heated) shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing. You can make the mildly spicy ranch from cafe rio as well. You get:
1 packet of hidden vally ranch dressing mix,
1/3 cup of milk.
1 cup of mayo
3 tomatillos (Little green tomatoes, with a skin you take off. just put in a blender and puree, don't cook or do anything to it)
1/4 tsp garlic powder or garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Mix and chill.


Sometimes if there is too much pork for you, take some out before you add the salsa and sugar, and mix it with bbq sauce for pulled pork sandwiches. Easy to freeze in ziplocs in individual sizes. Curt likes sweet baby rays brand.
