Spicy Italian Pot Roast

Begin by rubbing the olive oil all over the roast. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Brown both sides in a large pot over medium heat. Transfer to slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, Italian seasoning, and sugar. Stir well. Mix in the pepperoncini peppers. Stir in the reserved juice. Set aside.

Place the onion slices and carrots in the slow cooker with the roast. Pour the sauce over the meat and veggies, combine well. Cook over high heat for 1 hour. Then switch to low for remaining 6 hours.

Remove roast from slow cooker, shred meat and serve with carrots and sauce.
