Oven Cola Pork Cowboy Candy Dill Pickle Nachos

 

 

Psalm 142:1-4

A Maskil of David, when he was in the cave. A Prayer.

    [1] With my voice I cry out to the LORD;

        with my voice I plead for mercy to the LORD. 

    [2] I pour out my complaint before him;

        I tell my trouble before him.

    [3] When my spirit faints within me,

        you know my way!

    In the path where I walk

        they have hidden a trap for me. 

    [4] Look to the right and see:

        there is none who takes notice of me;

    no refuge remains to me;

        no one cares for my soul.

Sometimes I use my IP to do the pork and sometimes I do it in the oven in a Dutch oven.

If using oven cook 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hrs to 2 hours or until meat is tender and liquid is almost gone.
