Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 (2-lb) bag frozen meatballs
Sauce
- 2 cups buffalo wing sauce
- 1 (1-oz) package ranch dressing mix
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the frozen meatballs, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing mix into a slow cooker. Stir everything together well to ensure the meatballs are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the LOW setting for 2 hours. This gentle cooking allows the meatballs to heat through thoroughly and absorb the flavors of the buffalo wing sauce and ranch mix.

- For extra heat, add a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the buffalo wing sauce before cooking.
- This recipe can be doubled easily to serve a larger crowd; just make sure your slow cooker is large enough.
- Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic buffalo wing experience.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in a microwave or slow cooker on low.
