Combine ingredients for BBQ sauce in a medium sauce pot, gently whisk until smooth. Set heat to medium.
Add the content of little smokies package to the sauce. (There are some juices in the package as well and if you're cooking them on stove-top, add the juices as well. Some of the liquid will cook out during the simmering time and this flavor will be a nice addition.)
Stir everything well and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Stir often.
Take off heat and serve.
