  3. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and Cajun seasoning over the layered ingredients. Use your hands or a spoon to evenly coat the mixture.
  4. Pour the beef broth evenly over the seasoned vegetable and sausage mixture. Add small pats of butter on top.
  5. Cover the slow cooker tightly and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours.
  6. Once cooking time is complete, gently stir the mixture to combine and distribute the flavors before serving.
