In a large saucepan or skillet, add the cocktail sausages and frozen meatballs. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and water until smooth.
Pour the prepared sauce over the sausages and meatballs in the pan.
Place the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the sauce coats everything evenly.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Transfer the cocktail sausages and meatballs to a serving dish and pour any remaining sauce over the top.
Serve warm with cocktail picks or toothpicks for easy eating.
