Cafe Rio Shredded Pork

3 lb pork roast
12 oz can of coke- must be regular coke
put in crock pot and cook on high for 1 hour. Then reduce heat to low and cook another 7 hours. When done remove from crockpot and shred. Put back into crock pot, add 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/4 cup honey BBQ sauce and 3/4 cup ketchup. Mix well.

I add more BBQ sauce and ketchup to make more "saucey" or use the Sweet BBQ Sauce Recipe on side for those who want it more saucey.

Serve with tortilla shells, beans, rice (lime) and enchilada sauce.

Spicy Rice

In a skillet combine:
2 c water
2 c salsa
1 pkg taco seasoning

Bring to boil then add:
1 can canned chicken drained
2 c minute rice
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can whole kernal corn, drained
cover and simmer 10 minutes
Serve with grated cheese and sour cream

Sweet BBQ Sauce

1 bottle ketchup (32oz)
1 c water
1/4 c mustard
1 c brown sugar, packed
1 tbls dried onion, minced
2 tbls liquid smoke

Mix all ingredients together in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a simmer for a few minutes. Sauce can be stored in fridge for weeks or frozen.
