Ingredients

Scale
  • 5-6 pounds boneless pork butt
  • 3 C Coke (not diet!)
  • 1/2 C brown sugar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 C enchilada sauce
  • 1 1/2 C Coke
  • 2 – 7 oz cans green chills
  • 2 C brown sugar
  • 1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1.  In a large container, combine the Coke, brown sugar and pork meat.  Marinade for 4-8 hours in the refrigerator.
  2.  Place pork and half of the marinade in the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours until it is tender and able to pull apart with two forks.  Remove the meat from the slow cooker, discard the cooking liquid and shred all the meat.
  3.  In a blender or food processor, blend together the enchilada sauce, Coke, green chills, red pepper flakes and brown sugar.  Combine with the shredded meat and cook on low for 2 hours.  Taste the finished meat and add any additional salt needed.  I added about one more teaspoon at the end.
