  2. Place the sliced onion sections in the bottom of a large roasting pan. Set the pork on top of the onions, fat side up.
  3. Pour the beer into the bottom of the pan.
  4. Roast pork in 275° oven for 5-7 hours.
  5. Make sure pork is pull apart tender. Remove fat cap and bone, then shred and chop pork to desired texture.
  6. Sprinkle pork with apple cider vinegar. Mix some BBQ sauce in with pulled pork and taste. Add more sauce and vinegar as desired. Cover and keep warm until serving.

Buy the bone in pork shoulder with the square shape. A little more per pound than the larger flat cut, but better fat/meat ratio. Tip: Set aside part of the pulled pork before you add BBQ sauce, and follow my recipe for Carnitas!

  4. Add another layer of open, flat green chiles, meat, and another layer of cheese. Reserve some cheese for later.
  5. Pour egg/milk mixture over the top of the layers.
  6. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Sprinkle additional cheese over the top and return to oven until cheese melts.
