Camille gave me this recipe and we love it! We use it in burritos, salads, quesadillas and even sandwiches! It is so easy and makes a ton!
3 lb. pork
16 oz. chunky salsa
1 can Dr. Pepper
2 c. brown sugar
Put pork in crockpot and fill halfway with water. Cook 4 hours on high. Drain water, cut pork in thirds, mix together sauce and pour on top. Cook 4 more hours on low. Drain liquid and shred pork. Save a little liquid and mix it in with the pork so it is really moist. Enjoy!

This recipe sounds really interesting! Thinking of giving it a try when my husband gets back from his business trip. I came to check out your site after you found mine through the blog hop. I love your concept! It really makes me want to make my sisters a part of my own blog. I’m now a GFC and Facebook follower.

does it have to be dr. pepper? or could i use diet coke?
@Zitting Zoo- I have tried this recipe with Coke (and it’s still so good), but I have heard that Diet Coke doesn’t taste as good . . . something about the “diet” ingredients not producing the same yummy flavor (I think that the sugar plays a big role in why this is so good!). But, you never know! If you try it, let us know!
This was a hit! Served it with lime-cilantro rice. Very yummy! Thank you for sharing
Hi Im wondering do I use a pork roast or tenderloin? Thanks
I prefer to use a pork roast. It seems to do better in this recipe!
Does the sauce include the salsa? Or does that go on the side…
It includes the salsa! You can put additional salsa on top or I like to use fresh pico de gallo or fresh tomatoes.
Do you have a recipe for the Cafe Rio salad dressing? We moved from Utah to NC and miss Cafe Rio so much!
We found a recipe on another blog for you -
