Ingredients

3-4 lb pork shoulder trimmed of excess fat
½ cup vegetable broth or water
1 oz packet ranch seasoning mix
1 oz packet au jus gravy mix
½ cup unsalted butter cut into chunks
6-8 jarred pepperoncini plus 2 tablespoon brine from the jar

Instructions

Place the pork shoulder in the slow cooker. Pour in the broth (or water). Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the pork. Add the butter chunks on top.
Place the pepperoncini on and around the pork. Pour in 2 tablespoons of the brine from the jar.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until the pork is fall-apart tender when pulled with a fork. Shred pork in the slow cooker and serve.
