The beauty of this recipe is how easily it comes together in the slow cooker. The Lit’l Smokies soak up the punchy flavor of pepperoncinis, while the au jus mix, garlic powder, and onion powder round things out. A stick of butter on top ties it all together, melting into the sausages and upping the richness factor even more.
