These Crockpot Mississippi Meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make comfort food recipe featuring frozen meatballs simmered all day in a flavorful mixture of pepperoncini peppers, ranch seasoning, and brown gravy mix. Perfect for busy days, this slow cooker dish yields tender, savory meatballs with a tangy kick and buttery richness, ideal served over mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Ingredients

Meatballs

  • 1 bag (26 oz) frozen meatballs (about 55–60 meatballs)

Seasonings & Sauce

  • 1 jar (16 oz) mild pepperoncini peppers (include both peppers and juice)
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet brown gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, sliced thin

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crockpot: Spray the insert of your crockpot with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen meatballs to the crockpot, then pour in the entire jar of mild pepperoncini peppers, including both the peppers and the juice. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning packet and brown gravy mix packet over the top. Stir gently to combine the ingredients as evenly as possible.
  3. Add Butter: Lay the sliced butter evenly over the top of the meatball mixture to add richness and help create a smooth sauce as it cooks.
  4. Cook: Cover with the lid and cook on HIGH heat for 3 to 4 hours or on LOW heat for 6 to 7 hours. The meatballs will become tender and the flavors will meld beautifully.
  5. Serve: Once cooked through, serve the meatballs hot over mashed potatoes, rice, egg noodles, pasta, or steamed vegetables to complete your meal.

Notes

  • Do not thaw the meatballs before adding them to the crockpot; cooking from frozen helps maintain their shape and texture.
  • Adjust the spiciness by choosing mild or hot pepperoncini peppers according to your preference.
  • You can substitute butter with margarine or a dairy-free alternative if needed.
  • Stir halfway through cooking if possible, to ensure even flavor distribution.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
