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
  • 6-8 pepperoncini peppers, from a jar, plus 2 tablespoon of the juice
  • ½ cup water or broth if your slow cooker runs hot

Instructions
 

  • Place the pork: Set the pork shoulder (or pork butt) in the slow cooker insert. Trim off any large pieces of fat so it cooks evenly.

  • Slow cook: Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or on High for 4–5 hours, until the pork is fork-tender and easy to shred.
  • Shred and mix: Remove a little of the extra liquid if needed, then shred the pork directly in the slow cooker and stir everything together so it soaks up the juices.
