Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 oz cocktail smokies (mini sausages)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture starts to bubble and the sugar is fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Add the cocktail smokies to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the smokies for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are hot and the sauce is thickened.
Transfer the smokies and sauce to a serving dish or a slow cooker set to warm for serving.
Serve hot with toothpicks for easy grabbing. Enjoy!
