Glazed Kielbasa

3 pounds smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1 inch chunks

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1  1/2 cup ginger ale (I use lemon lime soda because we usually have that)

Place sausage in slow cooker; sprinkle with brown sugar.  Pour ginger ale over the top. Stir to mix all together and make sure sausage is all covered with soda.  Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until heated through.  Serve with rice.  Some of the family likes the juice on the rice.

Sweet Pork Barbacoa

2 pounds pork – boneless ribs or a loin roast work great, but anything boneless works

1 can root beer

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1/4 cup water

1 cup or so of enchilada sauce

Put pork bowl to marinate with 1 can root beer and 1/2 cup brown sugar.  Marinate a few hours or overnight.

Put pork in crock pot with the garlic salt and water for 3-4 hours.  The bigger the pieces the longer it takes.

Drain liquit and shred pork.  Add enchilada sauce.  Heat till warm.  Works great for Cafe Rio style burritos.
