Notes

Pepperoncini Peppers : Use a mild version for mild spice or medium for more spice in the recipe. Banana Peppers are another great substitute in the mild version. If you don't want the chunks of pepperoncini peppers in the final product, I recommend taking the stems off of each pepper and running the peppers and juice (from the jar) through a food processor or blender. It won't get it completely smooth, but it also won't have huge chunks of pepper in the final dish. I do this a lot because my kids won't eat it with the huge pepper chunks just sitting there.

Thicken The Gravy : If you want the gravy thicker then there is a simple fix for that! Stir together 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1/4 cup cold water until well combined. Stir this into the gravy inside the crockpot and let it cook on HIGH for about 10-15 minutes or until the gravy has thickened.
