Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds frozen meatballs (beef, turkey, or mixed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix (dry packet)
  • 1 ounce au jus gravy mix (dry packet)
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

Method
 

  1. Place frozen meatballs directly into the slow cooker.
  2. Cut the butter into smaller chunks and distribute evenly over the meatballs.
  3. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and au jus mix over everything.
  4. Add pepperoncini peppers on top and pour the juice over everything.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
  6. If using cream cheese, add it during the last 30 minutes and stir gently until melted.
  7. Give everything a gentle stir before serving.

Notes

Resist lifting the lid frequently to maintain heat. Use unsalted butter for better sodium control. Taste the sauce before serving and adjust seasoning as needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to four days.
