Cafe Rio Pork Recipe

I'm not much of a cook, but I love to eat! Try this yummy pork in the crock-pot for an easy family meal.

Cafe Rio Pork

5-6 lb pork tenderloin roast

3 cups Dr. Pepper

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup white sugar

1 clove of garlic, minced

7 oz can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce

6 oz red taco sauce

1 tbl dry mustard

1 tsp cumin

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Place roast in crock pot cover just halfway with water- cook on low for about 8-12 hours- drain pork and remove any fat- at this point the meat should shred very easily with a fork.

In a large bowl mix the Dr. Pepper, both sugars, garlic, taco sauce, dry mustard, cumin, cayenne pepper and stir until sugar is dissolved- If you would like a spicier meat- blend the contents of the can of chipotle chiles and add- I just opened the can and poured just the sauce into the mixture.

Add the Dr. Pepper mixture to the pork and stir- cook on low for an additional 6-8 hours. If there is too much liquid- cook with the lid off to let the extra moisture evaporate.
