Little Smokies in BBQ Sauce make an amazing little appetizer for many occasions. These little sausages are to tasty and simple cooked in a homemade BBQ sauce. Make it quickly and easily on stove-top or in a crock pot.
Little Smokies:
Besides meatballs, these bite-sized sausages are my favorite appetizers to serve at a party. Not just at a party, I like to snack on them anytime too.
The best and the most simple way to serve little smokies sausages is to cook them in sauce. BBQ sauce is the favorite for most people but you can always get adventurous and variate the flavors.
Some other ways to cook these sausages is to wrap them in bacon and roast in the oven or wrap them in pieces of dough to make pigs in the blanket. Little smokies are so much tastier in Pigs In A Blanket appetizer than Vienna sausages.
This truly is one of the simplest and tastiest appetizers you can serve at a party that will satisfy everyone.
Little Smokies in the Crock Pot:
If you don’t want to make these BBQ little smokies on stove-top, you can simply throw them in the Crock Pot.
First, combine ingredients for the sauce in the Crock Pot and whisk it together.
Add sausages but not the juices that they are packed with to the sauce and stir well.
Cover and cook on high for about 2 hours or on low for about 4 hours.
You can always set the Crock Pot to warm setting after sausages are cooked and serve it at the party right in the Crock Pot.

I am considering making these for my superbowl party. This will be my first time so mu question is do the little smokers come in big cans and are the smokers the same as vienna sausages
Phil says
They come in little sealed packages that are most of the time by deli meats at your super market.

Turned out excellent. My autistic son who can be picky at times absolutely LOVED this sauce for the lil smokies. Been trying to find one for awhile. Used it just tonight for the Lil smokies but willing to try on chicken and few other things since he loves it that much!
100% Recommend to others!
Thank You ❤️
