Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Little smokies sausages
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
Instructions
1. Prepare your slow cooker by spraying the interior with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with a slow cooker liner for easier cleanup.
2. Add the little smokies sausages directly to the slow cooker.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk until the ingredients are well integrated and the sauce is smooth.
4. Pour the sauce mixture over the little smokies in the slow cooker. Use a spatula or spoon to gently toss the smokies, ensuring they are evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 3 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6. After 3 hours, check to make sure the smokies are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. If needed, allow it to simmer uncovered for another 15-20 minutes to thicken further.
7. Once done, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting to keep the smokies hot for serving.
8. Serve the slow-cooked smokies straight from the slow cooker or transfer them to a serving dish. They pair well with toothpicks or skewers for easy grabbing.
