Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450 grams) Little Smokies Sausages
- 1 cup (240 ml) Barbecue Sauce
- 1 cup (240 grams) Grape Jelly
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Yellow Mustard
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) Worcestershire Sauce (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) Onion Powder
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine barbecue sauce, grape jelly, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well until smooth and fully blended.
- Pour the little smokies sausages into the crockpot. No need to thaw them first.
- Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the little smokies and gently stir to coat all sausages.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours. Stir gently around the 2-hour mark.
- Check that the little smokies are hot and bubbling before serving. If the sauce is too thin, cook uncovered on high for an additional 15-20 minutes to thicken.
- Serve warm with toothpicks for easy snacking.
Notes
Use thicker barbecue sauce for better coating. For gluten-free, ensure barbecue sauce and Worcestershire sauce are gluten-free. Frozen little smokies can be used but may require extra cooking time. For a caramelized finish, broil cooked smokies 3-5 minutes watching carefully. Leftovers store up to 4 days refrigerated and freeze well up to 3 months.
