Ingredients

4-5 lb Boston butt roast, bone-in
Salt/Black Pepper
1 1/2 cups water
12 oz root beer
8 oz enchilada sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp molasses
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 lime zested and juiced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

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 1/2 tsp 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.
