Little Smokies
These easy 3-ingredient little smokies are cocktail sausages cooked in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce in the slow cooker. They are perfect for parties and entertaining as they're so tasty and fun to eat, and everyone loves them!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 16-ounce packages Little Smokies
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
For grape jelly flavor
- 1 cup grape jelly
For a sweet and savory sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar light or dark
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Open 2 packages of little smokies, and place them in the Crockpot.
- In a small bowl, mix the sauce ingredients until well combined.
- Pour the sauce over the little smokies, and cook for 1 hour on high or 2-3 hours on low.
Notes
- Sweeten the sauce with grape or cranberry jelly, or brown sugar (I'm giving you both recipes in the recipe card below). Granulated sugar is not recommended.
- I like to use a high-quality honey barbecue sauce for the best flavor.
- If you like a bit of heat, add a splash of hot chili sauce (like Frank's hot sauce), or use sweet and spicy barbecue sauce instead of honey barbecue.
- Use 3-4 quart slow cooker, or larger.
- Serve them to your guests straight from the slow cooker, just provide them with a serving spoon and some clean picks so that they can help themselves! Or just serve in an appetizer bowl.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.
- Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months.
- Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.
