Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pound pork shoulder (or pork butt), trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 ounce packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 ounce packet au jus gravy mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), cut into chunks
  • 8 pepperoncini peppers plus 2 tablespoon of the juice
  • ½ cup water or broth if your slow cooker runs hot

Method
 

  1. Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker.
  2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus mix evenly over the top. Add the butter chunks on top of the pork.
  3. Place the pepperoncini on and around the pork. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the brine.
  4. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 to 5 hours, until the pork is fall apart tender.
  5. Tip out some of the juices if desired, then shred the pork in the slow cooker and stir to coat in the remaining sauce.

Notes

  • Best Cut: Pork shoulder or pork butt gives the most tender results.
  • Cook Low if Possible: Low for 8 hours creates true fall apart texture.
  • Rest in Juices: Let shredded pork sit in the juices before serving.
  • Serve Classic Style: Delicious over mashed potatoes or on sandwich rolls.
  • Store with Juices: Keeps leftovers moist for reheating.
