Shredded Pork (Cafe Rio)

4 lbs Pork Roast (can double amount because sauce makes a lot)
5 (8 oz) cans Tomato Sauce
3 tsp Pressed Garlic Cloves
1 1/2 - 3 cups Brown Sugar (I use 3 cause I like it sweet!)
4 tsp Cumin
4 cups Dr Pepper
2-4 TBS Molasses
1/2 tsp Salt
Pepper to taste
-Mix all the ingredients, place in a crockpot and let simmer until the meat is tender and pulls away with a fork. Shred with forks. (can cook overnight)
SOO GOOD! Tastes like the real cafe rio salads but you can serve an army for the price of 1 salad! It's super easy too, and you can use left overs for sandwiches too. I always make it and freeze half. For salads I serve it with: Coscto fresh tortillas, cut romaine lettuce, pork, corn, black beans, lime rice, cheese, avocados, tomatoes, sour cream, crushed chips or noodle chips if you can find them, and of course the cilantro dressing! (Mouth watering yet) (Lime rice and dressing recipes are just below too, click rice for lime rice, or dressings for creamy cilantro dressing)
