Here is how you make Crock pot Buttery Ranch Cornish Game Hens:

Create brine in a deep bowl by mixing 2 quarts of water with 1 cup of salt. Submerge hens in brine, place in fridge, and allow to soak for 1 hour. Brine helps the hens retain moisture while cooking in the crock pot.Meanwhile, remove 6 pats of butter from fridge and allow to soften to room temperature.After, remove birds from brine, rinse under cool water and then pat dry. In a small bowl, mix 1 packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning with 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Set aside. Coat the birds in one tablespoon of butter each (total of 2 tablespoons). The remaining 2 tablespoons of butter should be divided evenly and placed inside the hens. Use the Ranch Butter and coat the outside of the hens a second time. Sprinkle with desired amount of black pepper.Pour 1 cup of Swanson Chicken Broth (or whichever brand you prefer) into the crock pot. Place prepared hens in the crock pot and cook on HIGH for 4 hours.Remove and serve with your favorite side dish (I did scalloped potatoes and steamed veggies).Serving Size: Makes 2 Cornish Hens, 1 Hen per personNumber of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user VINTAGEGNOME159.
