Notes
Don't forget to stir it: I like to stir the dish once, about halfway through the cooking time, just to ensure everything cooks evenly.
Watch the salt levels: I recommend not adding salt to this recipe, since the ranch seasoning and gravy mix contain salt, and the little smokies can be salty. Also be sure to get low-sodium or salt-free beef broth for the same reason.
Cool before storing: Let the recipe cool before storing it, otherwise the condensation in the container will make the gravy watery.
Easier cleanup: Crockpot liners are handy to minimize the washing up afterwards.
