version 3

I'm still tweaking this recipe, so be careful!

Ingredients

• 3lb chuck roast
• 6 pepperoncini (sweet pickled friggitello)
• 1 stick butter
• spices*

Recipe

• Rinse, pat dry, and trim chuck roast, then place into the bottom of a slow cooker or roaster
• Scatter six pepperoncini evenly around the roast
• Place a stick of butter atop the chuck roast
• Sprinkle spices over chuck roast and butter
• Reduce heat to keep-warm, temporarily remove pepperoncini, pull roast into shreds with forks, and mix thoroughly with drippings
• Re-add pepperoncini, either whole or de-stemmed, minced, and mixed in.

*The original recipe calls for one pouch of 'ranch powder' and one pouch of either aujus powder, onion soup powder, or brown gravy powder.

Notes

Instead, I just make my own ranch powder:

• 2T dried parsley
• 1 1/2t dried dill weed
• 1t dried chives
• 1t ground black pepper
• 1t sea salt

Pulverize into a fine powder in mortar

• 2t garlic powder
• 3t onion powder

This doesn't turn out as sweet as using the powder, so they probably contain some sugar. I'll try grating some carrot in
