Description

These Crockpot Mississippi Meatballs are an easy, flavorful slow-cooked appetizer or main dish featuring frozen meatballs simmered in a zesty blend of ranch seasoning, au jus gravy mix, pepperoncini peppers, and butter for a rich, tangy sauce. Perfect for gatherings or a comforting meal, they can be served on their own or over potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale

Meatballs and Seasonings

  • 1 (26-ounce) bag frozen meatballs
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) jar sliced pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup butter, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Place the entire 26-ounce bag of frozen meatballs into the bottom of the crockpot to form the base of this recipe.
  2. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle the au jus gravy mix packet and ranch seasoning packet evenly over the frozen meatballs to distribute flavor throughout.
  3. Pour Liquids and Peppers: Pour the whole jar of sliced pepperoncini peppers along with their juice over the meatballs and seasoning, then add ½ cup of water to provide moisture for cooking.
  4. Add Butter: Dot the contents with the diced ½ cup of butter on top, which will melt and enrich the sauce during cooking.
  5. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent sticking or burning and ensure even cooking.
  6. Serve: Once the meatballs are heated through and tender, serve them hot on their own or over a bed of mashed or roasted potatoes for a hearty meal.

Notes

  • Stirring every 30 minutes helps prevent meatballs from sticking and ensures even heat distribution.
  • For a thicker sauce, you can remove the lid in the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • These meatballs can be served as an appetizer or as a main dish over potatoes or rice.
  • Substitute butter with a non-dairy alternative to make it dairy-free, but this will change the flavor slightly.
