Sweet Mexican Pulled Pork
"You can use this in salads and burritos."

submitted by: Sherian Bushman
serves: 10-12

Ingredients:
1 pork roast (2-3lbs)
salt & pepper
1 garlic clove (minced)
water
1-2 cans green enchilada sauce (to taste)
brown sugar (to taste)
2 cans Dr. Pepper
1 small can green chilies

Directions:
Salt and pepper roast to taste, put roast and garlic in a crockpot, add water (fill a small crockpot about half full) and cook on low for about 5 hours. Remove roast, drain water (and remove any fat or drippings), and return roast to crock pot. Add 1 can of Dr. Pepper and 1/2 c. of brown sugar (to start off with). Let roast cook on low 3 more hours (at this point you can pull your pork apart, break it into 3 or 4 chunks but don't shred or pull it completely). Transfer roast (including any liquid) to a large skillet and pull apart. At this point you add green chilies. You can also add more enchilada sauce, more brown sugar and Dr. Pepper. (obviously the more b. sugar and Dr. Pepper you add the sweeter it is and by adding more enchilada sauce it becomes less sweet)
