Night before: Mix together brown sugar (2 T), cayenne, cumin, and salt. Rub on roast. Put in crock pot on LOW all night. (I've never done this over night, just in the morning, and it's fine!)
Next morning: Add coke, chicken broth, garlic, and onions. Keep on LOW unitl ready to serve. About 1 hour before serving, shred roast and add 1 cup brown sugar. Use in Salads, tacos, or burritos. yummy! serves 12
