# Ingredients:
→ Meats
01 -
Lit'l Smokies - one 28 ounce package
→ Seasonings & Flavors
02 -
Pepperoncini juice - 1/4 cup from the jar
03 -
Au jus gravy mix - 1 ounce packet
04 -
Ranch seasoning mix - 1 ounce packet
05 -
Pepperoncini peppers - 6 whole peppers

06 -
Unsalted butter - 1/2 cup (1 stick), cut into tablespoons
# Instructions:
01 -
Spread your Lit'l Smokies across the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker in an even layer.
02 -
Pour that tangy pepperoncini juice right over the smokies.
03 -
Sprinkle first the au jus gravy mix, then the ranch seasoning evenly over everything.
04 -
Place your butter pieces and whole pepperoncini peppers on top - the butter will melt down and mix with everything as it cooks.
05 -
Cover your slow cooker and let everything cook on low for 2-3 hours. Before serving, give it all a good stir to mix those flavors together nicely.
# Notes:
01 -
The longer these cook (up to 3 hours), the more flavor the smokies will soak up.
02 -
Keep them warm in the slow cooker during parties - they'll stay perfect for serving.
