Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 32 oz Cocktail sausages (mini hot dogs)
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Whiskey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, whiskey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture begins to simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
While the sauce is simmering, drain the cocktail sausages if necessary and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Add the cocktail sausages into the saucepan with the sauce.
Stir gently to coat all the sausages evenly in the sauce.
Continue to cook the sausages over low heat for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
Transfer the Whiskey Weiners to a serving dish and serve warm with toothpicks for easy picking.
Optional: Keep them warm for extended periods by transferring to a slow cooker set on low heat.
