Sweet Pork

I have tried a lot of recipes and finally found one that I like, that tastes like the sweet pork at Costa Vida (and that other place). This is really good, it makes me forget how much I detest pork!!! This is a combination of a few recipes I've found online.


Ingredients:

2 pounds pork
3 1/2 cups of Coke (or Dr. Pepper I guess)(NOT DIET)
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
garlic powder
1 can green chiles
1/4 cup water
1 can enchilada sauce (has to be Macayo's, all the other ones are gross)



Put the pork in a ziploc bag to marinade. Add 2 cups of Coke and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Marinade for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Drain marinade and put pork, 3/4 cup Coke, water in crockpot. Put garlic powder over the meat. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 8ish hours. Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred the pork then put it back in the crockpot.

Blend 3/4 cup Coke, green chiles, enchilada sauce and 1 cup brown sugar until smooth. Pour over meat in crockpot, mix it all up and cook for another hour or two.

You can use this for a salad, burritos, quesadillas, or NATCHOS! Yum!!!

Peanut Butter Bars

I made these for Thom's birthday, since he doesn't like cakes or anything and I know he likes peanut butter! They are REALLY good and super easy.



Ingredients:

1 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
4 tbsp. peanut butter

In a medium bowl, mix together the butter or margarine, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar and 1 cup of peanut butter until well blended. Press evenly into the bottom of a greased 9X13 pan.

In a medium bowl over simmering water, or in the microwave, melt the chocolate chips with the peanut butter stirring occasionally until smooth. Spread over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least one hour before cutting into squares.
