In a separate bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, au jus gravy mix, water, and pepperoncini juice. Whisk these together to create a flavorful sauce.
Pour this sauce mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker, ensuring they are well-coated.
Add the Butter and Peppers:
Distribute the slices of unsalted butter evenly over the top of the meatballs. The butter will melt into the sauce, adding a rich, creamy texture.
Scatter the pepperoncini peppers over the top. These peppers will impart a delightful tanginess as they cook.
Slow Cook to Perfection:
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 3-4 hours. The slow and low heat will tenderize the meatballs and allow all the flavors to meld beautifully.
Occasionally stir the meatballs to ensure they don’t stick to the bottom and are evenly coated in the sauce.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the meatballs are tender and flavorful, they’re ready to serve. Spoon them along with plenty of the sauce onto plates.
