Recipe Notes
*I used all the liquid and roughly half of a 16-ounce jar of pepperoncini peppers in the slow cooker, then used the rest of the peppers for serving and garnish for the Tot-chos and Sandwiches. For the Hash, because I use onions and herbs, I don't usually add more pepperoncini, but you certainly can if you want!
