    Ingredients
     

    • 4-5 lb Boston butt roast, bone-in
    • Salt/Black Pepper
    • 1 ½ cups water
    • 12 oz root beer
    • 8 oz enchilada sauce
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 tablespoon molasses
    • ¼ cup mayonnaise
    • ½ tablespoon sugar
    • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 lime zested and juiced
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ½-1 jalapeño
    • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
    • 2 green onions sliced
    • 10 oz bag coleslaw mix
    • 20 oz 2 packages King’s Hawaiian Original King’s Hawaiian Sweet Slider Buns
    • 8 oz package Cheddar and Monterey Jack Cheese slices

    Instructions

    • Season pork on all sides with salt and pepper. Sear in a skillet on high heat, 2 minutes per side. 
    • To a Crockpot, add water and the pork. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or until pork can easily pull apart with a fork. 
    • Once done, transfer to a cutting board, and shred with 2 forks. Discard the bone and any excess fat. 
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together root beer, enchilada sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, cumin, molasses, and ½ teaspoon each salt and black pepper. Pour the sauce and pork into the Crockpot, and cook on high for 30 minutes. 
    • Meanwhile, make the coleslaw. In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix until well blended. 
    • To assemble sandwiches, place the bottom halves of the buns on a baking pan. Top each bottom half with 2oz meat and a quarter slice of cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and toasted. Remove from the oven, top with coleslaw and the top bun and serve.
