Sweet Pork Enchiladas

This recipe is one of the most shared recipes I have. I will share it with someone and then they will share it and so on. One reason is, it is so easy to make. The other reason is, it is full of flavor. What could be better than tender sweet pork accompanied by cheese that just melts in your mouth.
Sweet Pork Enchiladas
3-4 lbs pork (roast, ribs, whatever) 
1 C. brown sugar
 1 C. salsa
10-10 inch tortillas
 Shredded Mozzarella
1 Can green enchilada sauce
Place pork in slow cooker and cover with sugar and salsa.  Cook for 6-8 hours or until it shreds easily. Drain juice off pork.  Roll shredded pork and cheese in tortilla and place in pan.  Pour enchilada sauce over and sprinkle with any remaining cheese. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. We serve it with sour cream and additional salsa.
Sometimes I cook extra pork and use the pork the next day for pulled pork sandwiches. I just add the cooked pork to a pan and heat through. I then add KC masterpiece Barbecue sauce until it is the consistency I want. This is as good or better than the kind you can buy pre-made in the store.
 This cooked sweet pork is also good as the meat on a salad.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family and friends do. Don't forget to share this recipe and site with friends.

Creamy Chicken Italiano

So we are still fighting illness in my house, myself included and I failed to get a picture of the meal I made yesterday and tonight we ordered pizza (one of the advantages to being sick). So I apologize for not having a picture of what this recipe looks like but I'm sure you can imagine it. This is my daughters absolute favorite meal.
