3 pounds bone-in pork roast
1 dash hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 (5 ounce) jar stuffed green olives
3 ounces sliced pepperoni sausage
4 cloves garlic, sliced
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rub the roast all over with salt and pepper, hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
