Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Lil Smokies (cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine barbecue sauce, grape jelly, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir well until smooth.
Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to simmer and the grape jelly is fully melted, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the Lil Smokies to the sauce and gently stir to coat all the sausages evenly.
Reduce heat to low and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Transfer the Lil Smokies to a serving dish and serve warm with toothpicks. Enjoy!
