Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Lil Smokies sausages
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the Lil Smokies sausages to the saucepan and stir until fully coated with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer the sausages for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Serve warm in a bowl with toothpicks or on a platter as a fun appetizer. Enjoy!
