Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a slow cooker.
Add ranch seasoning, au jus mix, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, pepperoncini slices, pepperoncini juice, and butter. Stir everything together.
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours, or on high for 2–3 hours.
Stir well before serving.
Serve the meat mixture on burger buns. Add cheese or pickles if you like.

Notes

You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
For a spicier kick, add extra pepperoncini juice or a few red pepper flakes.
Toast the buns for extra texture and flavor.
