Prepare your ingredients by measuring out the barbecue sauce, grape jelly, yellow mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a medium saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, grape jelly, yellow mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir the mixture until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the grape jelly is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the Little Smokies sausages to the saucepan and gently stir to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the sausages simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened, remove them from the heat.
Transfer the Little Smokies to a serving dish and optionally garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for added color.
Serve warm with toothpicks for easy eating. Enjoy your Little Smokies Football Wienies with friends and family during the big game!
