📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Place a medium-sized saucepan on the stove over medium heat.

2. Add the barbecue sauce and grape jelly to the saucepan and stir until well combined.

3. Sprinkle in the chili powder and garlic powder, and stir to incorporate the seasonings.

4. Allow the sauce to warm up and become smooth, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Add the cocktail wieners to the saucepan and stir until they are completely coated in the sauce.

6. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the wieners in the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or uneven cooking.
