Cafe Rio Pork

2-3 pds. Pork shoulder
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chili powder
2 tbs. dried onions

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup red enchilada sauce

Place pork in crock-pot. Mix the rest of the top half ingredients in a bowl. Pour over Pork. Cook for 6-8 hours on low. 1 hour before serving, drain juices and add bottom two ingredients.

Reserve remaining enchilada sauce and heat over the stove for extra sauce. I also make spanish rice to eat on the side or mixed in with everything!

You can use this meat for tacos/burritos, a salad, or as a main dish! We usually make tacos, with black beans, spanish rice, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, grated cheese, and pretty much everything else you want to add!!

Don't worry, Stacy! I took out the ginger in your portion! Didn't want to cause any serious allergic reactions to my food.

Nice blog Rachael, love the addition of sexy cartoon characters. Who thinks of that for a dinner group blog?! Nice touch ;)
So I am just playing this by ear so please tell me if I am doing this wrong. I decided what I am going to make for this first meeting. I thought I would post the recipe here and give everyone a heads up so we don't get duplicates. Our family loves this soup and its been kinda cooler so I thought it would be nice to have soup. I have to admit I am pretty intimidated making this quantity. . hope it goes well. I might be calling some of you to borrow soup pots. :) Can't wait to hear what everyone else is making.
