For Nachos
- 2-1/2 cups barbecue sauce [3]
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey [4]
- 1 package (16 ounces) tortilla chips
- 1-1/2 cups frozen corn

Directions
- Cut each roast in half; place in two 5-qt. slow cookers. Combine the apple juice, garlic, salt and, if desired, liquid smoke; pour over meat. Cover and cook on low 7-8 hours or until tender.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Shred pork with 2 forks; place in a very large bowl. Stir in barbecue sauce, brown sugar and honey. Divide tortilla chips between 2 greased 13x9-in. baking dishes; top with pork mixture. Combine corn, beans, tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeno and lime juice; spoon over pork mixture. Bake, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt cheese with milk. Drizzle cheese sauce over nachos.
