Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Lil Smokies (cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup Grape jelly
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, grape jelly, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and the grape jelly has melted completely (approximately 5 minutes).
Add the Lil Smokies to the saucepan and stir to ensure they are fully coated with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the Lil Smokies are heated through and the sauce is thickened, transfer them to a serving dish.
Serve warm with toothpicks for easy snacking. Enjoy!
