Instructions

1. Melt butter: In a slow cooker or saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2. Mix the seasoning: Add the ranch seasoning, au jus mix, and pepperoncini juice to the butter. Stir until combined.
3. Add sausages: Place the Lil Smokies into the slow cooker or saucepan, and pour the buttery mixture over them. Stir to coat.
4. Cook:
   • Slow Cooker: Cook on low for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally.
   • Stovetop: Simmer on low heat for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Add pepperoncini (optional): For a spicy twist, toss in a few whole pepperoncini peppers during cooking.
