april 6, 2011 - cafe rio pork barbacoa

this cooked on low in my crockpot for almost 24 hours and let me tell you what.... my house smelled awesome!

i got this recipe from my friend collette.  i didn't have regular coke so i used diet coke - don't know if it makes a difference.  also, after about 12 hours (overnight), i shredded my pork and then left it to sit in the gooey goodness for another 10 hours on low.
