Cup of Yum
Notes
- We use a 2 quart small slow cooker and it’s the perfect size for this recipe. You can use a larger slow cooker as well.
- Be sure to look for ranch seasoning mix and not ranch dip mix. The dip is much saltier and you'll notice it in the finished product.
- As an appetizer, the Lil Smokies sausages are perfect. We also make this as a meal and slice kielbasa into 1 inch chunks to use in this recipe. They’re delicious over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
