Lazy Rainy Day and Bailey..

She has the right idea..

Peperoncini Pepper Meat Sandwiches..

1 large roast ( your preference)
2 cans beef broth
1 jar Peperoncini peppers and juice
Italian seasoning

Sprinkle both sides of roast with Italian season and place in crock pot. Pour peppers and juice on roast and add broth. Cook on low all day and when roast falls apart its done. You can eat this alone, over rice or as a sandwich, which is my favorite way to eat these..
