Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz Little Smokies (cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, if using. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer, ensuring the brown sugar dissolves completely.
Add the Little Smokies to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the Little Smokies cook in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the Little Smokies are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, transfer them to a serving dish.
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the top for a fresh, flavorful garnish.
Serve immediately with toothpicks or small skewers for easy serving. Enjoy!
