Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Mini beef or pork sausages (cocktail franks)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Prepared mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional for extra spiciness)
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Place the mini sausages in a medium-sized saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), and water until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the sausages in the pan, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sausages cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly to coat them, remove from heat.
Serve warm as is or with toothpicks for easy snacking. Enjoy!
