Ingredients

3-4 pounds pork shoulder roast
2 cups Coca Cola
¼ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cups Coca-Cola
1 can diced green chilis
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Add the 3-4 pounds pork shoulder roast to a gallon-sized ziplock bag and add 2 cups Coca Cola and ¼ cup brown sugar. Let marinate for 3 hours or overnight.
Drain the marinade and add the pork to a 5-quart slow cooker. Rub the pork with 1 teaspoon garlic salt and pour 2 cups Coca-Cola over it, and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 5-6 hours.
Carefully remove the pork from the slow cooker and discard the liquid. Shred the pork and return it to the slow cooker.
In a blender or food processor, add the 1 can diced green chilis, 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce, and 1 cup brown sugar and blend together.
Add the sauce to the pork and stir. Let cook for an additional hour and serve.
