Slow Cooker Buffalo Ranch Sliders

I posted this recipe last Spring, but they’re so perfect for your Super Bowl party that I just had to share them again! These are perfect for Super Bowl or a busy weeknight meal: just throw your ingredients in Mrs. Potts & let her do the work for you throughout the day.

I was completely scared off the first time I made these after reading through the ingredients, however since our pantry has six bottles of free Frank’s Hot Sauce (because my hubby is addicted to Buffalo Chicken Dip), I decided they were worth a try (and I’m so glad I did!) Here’s a quick warning though: this recipe is just a wee bit on the spicy side (obviously!), so if you tend to shy away from spicy foods try out these yummy-slow-cooker-not-spicy-at-all barbecue sandwiches.

1 dry ranch dressing packet I didn’t have any in the pantry so I just mixed up this homemade dry ranch dressing recipe (so easy & cheap!)
1 package dinner rolls try the dinner rolls in the bakery at Publix . . . they’re sooooooooo good and made these sliders extra yummy!
