Pepperoncini Beef Roast



Ingredients:

5 lbs Roast
24-oz. jar of Greek salad peppers (pepperoncini)
Garlic (see tip)
    
Instructions:

Place the roast into Crock Pot.
Dump entire jar of peppers and liquid over it.
Cook all day on low, about 10 hours or 5 to 6 hours on high


  Wink Tips:
1. Original recipe calls for garlic slivers in slits in roast
but you can use chopped garlic.


2. If you use the 32 oz. jar of peppers you get lots more gravy and yummy peppers!


3. The vinegar in the peppers breaks down the fibers in the meat
so you can use the cheapest cuts and it will still be tender.

   Smile Tip: Wild samon is the best type of salmon to eat.
Wild Salmon is a great source of Omega 3 Oils,

Surprise

Note:
Since different brands of apple juice have different amounts of carbs you will
have to check which one is best for you.This is where the carbs will be coming from
in this recipe. If you omit the apple juice the carb count will only be a trace amount,
not enough to count.
