Ingredients Used:
- 2 lb pork roast (I used a center cut roast)
- 2 cans cola
- 14.5 oz can pinto beans
- 14.5 oz can medium enchilada sauce
- salt and garlic powder to taste
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
Emma’s Take:
This was a super easy and quick meal. Hubby even gave it a 7 out of 10 on the YUM Scale. Even for a crock-pot meal it didn’t take that long to cook, only 4 hours. I made a few adjustments to suit what I had on hand, instead of garlic salt I substituted garlic powder and salt and instead of two cans of coke I used one coke and one dr pepper. Also, we don’t particularly care for green chilies so I didn’t add those in. Still turned out delicious. I will say though, it is definitely a very sweet pork and I think the recipe can be tweaked a little to suit your personal taste. Next time I make this for my family I will not drain the juice the roast cooks in and only add 1/3 cup of brown sugar with the enchilada sauce, no need to add in another 1/3 can of coke. Maybe this would change it from turning out just like Cafe Rio’s recipe, but I think for us it’d be just right. The combination of pinto beans and rice with this pulled pork was perfect. Leftovers were great as well, in fact even better than the night before.
