Mississippi Meatballs on a Budget: Big Flavor Without Breaking the Bank

We love the “Mississippi style” flavor for dinner! We love the creaminess and flavor of the sauce, we love the extra zip and zing from the pepperoncini peppers, and I love how easy these are to make in the slow cooker! 

Dump all of the ingredients into the slow cooker and then let it take care of cooking.
