Ingredients

  • 2 packages Little Smokies sausages (16-ounce each, fully cooked, ensure they are made from permissible meat sources)

  • Place the Little Smokies sausages directly into the crockpot and pour the entire cup of barbecue sauce over them, coating evenly.
  • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours or on high for 1 to 1.5 hours, until heated through and flavors meld.
  • Once heated and sauce is bubbling, serve the Little Smokies directly from the crockpot or transfer to a serving dish with toothpicks.

Notes

Use quality barbecue sauce and avoid overcooking to maintain juicy sausages. Keep warm for serving and try adding honey, hot sauce, or extras like onions or pineapple for variety. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 2 months.
