- 2 lb. pork roast of your choice loin, shoulder, butt

Begin by heating up a cast iron skillet with your olive oil, on medium high heat. Once hot, add in pork roast (whole) and begin browning. Allow each side to brown thoroughly before flipping it and moving to the next side. This first step is optional, but does give a great layer of flavor.
Once browned, place pork into the Crockpot and add spices and pour pepperoncini and pepperoncini juice over the top.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5.
Shred meat and serve.
