Cafe Rio Sweet Pork W/DP

One pork roast (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2-3 cans Dr. Pepper (not diet!)
1 1/4 c. brown sugar
Dash garlic salt
1/4 c. water
1 can sliced green chilies
1 cup salsa (I think the Costco organic salsa medium tastes best)
Put pork roast in crock-pot with 1 can Dr. Pepper, 1/4 cup water and 1/4 cup brown sugar and season with some garlic salt, pepper and season salt. Cook until it shreds easily (changes based on your crock-pot but will be anywhere from 4-8 hours) Remove pork from crock pot and drain any liquid left in the pot. Shred pork and get rid of all fat. In blender, blend 1 can Dr. Pepper, green chilies, salsa and one cup brown sugar. If it is kind of thick, add more Dr. Pepper. Put shredded pork back in crock-pot and cover with sauce. Cook on low for 1 hour.. That's it!
Optional: You can marinade pork roast in 1 can Dr. Pepper and 1/4 cup brown sugar for a few hours or overnight in Ziploc bag.
