Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

Place the following ingredients in a crock pot and cook all day:

3 lbs pork roast
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 Cup worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. dehydrated onion (or 1/2 fresh onion chopped)

One hour before serving, shred the pork and drain off juices (I don't throw out the juice-- I end up adding most of it back to the meat)

Add:

2 cups enchilada sauce
1 1/4 cup brown sugar

Serve as the meat portion to a burrito or make a big mexican salad and have it serve as the meat portion.

I usually double the recipe but only do about 12 oz. worcestershire sauce, a 28 oz can of green enchiliada sauce (which is a little over 3 cups), and 2 cups non packed brown sugar and there seems to be plenty of juice, sweetness, and flavor. Last time I made a double batch I was able to get enough for 6 meals and just froze them in the vacuum sealed bags for a quick dinner later.
