Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs

  • 32 ounces frozen homestyle meatballs

Seasonings & Liquids

  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup pepperoncini juice (from jar of pepperoncini)
  • ½ packet Au Jus seasoning
  • ½ packet ranch seasoning

Additional Ingredients

  • 4 pepperoncini peppers
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Meatballs: Place the frozen homestyle meatballs into the slow cooker, distributing them evenly.
  2. Mix Sauce: In a measuring cup, combine the water, pepperoncini juice, au jus seasoning, and ranch seasoning. Whisk the mixture thoroughly to blend all ingredients.
  3. Add Sauce and Peppers: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the meatballs. Arrange the whole pepperoncini peppers on top of the meatballs for added flavor.
  4. Add Butter: Slice the butter into pats and distribute them over the meatballs and peppers to melt during cooking.
  5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, allowing flavors to meld and the meatballs to heat through.
  6. Serve: Before serving, stir the meatballs well to coat them in the flavorful sauce created during cooking.

Notes

  • Au Jus seasoning and ranch seasoning packets are typically found in the gravy and salad dressing sections of grocery stores or online.
  • Using frozen meatballs means no thawing is necessary before cooking; they will cook thoroughly in the slow cooker.
  • Adjust the number of pepperoncini peppers to control spice level.
  • This dish pairs well with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
