Whats for dinner...

Pepperoncini meat sandwiches..
 1 roast ( I used a Sirloin) I found on sale
1 jar pepperoncini peppers
 italian seasonings
 garlic salt
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
 water or beef broth

 Season both sides of the roast with italian seasonings and garlic salt. Pour enough water to cover the roast half way. Add worcestershire to water. Pour the jar of pepperoncini peppers with liquid into slow cooker and let cook until roast falls apart. Usually around 5 hours.

Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
