Ingredients: 3 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed of excess fat. 1 cup brown sugar. 1 tablespoon chili powder. 1 tablespoon cumin. 1 tablespoon smoked paprika. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 teaspoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1 cup cola regular, not diet. 1 cup red enchilada sauce. 1/2 cup tomato sauce. 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
Instructions: Prepare the oven by heating it up to 300F 150C. Crack brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.
