Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cocktail wieners
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Place a medium-sized saucepan on the stove over medium heat.
Add the barbecue sauce and grape jelly to the saucepan and stir until well combined.
Sprinkle in the chili powder and garlic powder, and stir to incorporate the seasonings.
Allow the sauce to warm up and become smooth, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the cocktail wieners to the saucepan and stir until they are completely coated in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the wieners in the sauce for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or uneven cooking.
Once heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Serve the cocktail wieners warm, using toothpicks for easy grabbing, or transfer them to a slow cooker set to 'warm' for serving.
