Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Lil Smokies (mini smoked sausages)
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 0.5 cup Grape jelly
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the Lil Smokies to the saucepan.
Stir gently to coat the sausages evenly in the sauce.
Cover the saucepan and let the sausages simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Transfer the Lil Smokies to a serving dish and serve warm with toothpicks for easy grabbing.
Optional: Keep warm by transferring to a slow cooker on the ‘keep warm’ setting if serving over an extended period of time.
