Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package (14-16 oz) little smokies sausages
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Add Little Smokies to the Crockpot: Place the little smokies sausages into your Crockpot. You don’t need to thaw them first; just dump them straight from the package into the slow cooker.
- Pour in the BBQ Sauce: Next, pour the barbecue sauce over the sausages. Stir them gently to ensure everything is covered.
- Cook on Low: Cover the Crockpot and cook the sausages on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally if you can. The sausages will absorb the BBQ sauce, and they’ll become tender and juicy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the sausages are hot and the sauce has thickened up a bit, it’s time to serve. Use tongs or a spoon to transfer the little smokies into a serving dish. They’re perfect on their own or served with toothpicks for easy snacking.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook: While the Crockpot does most of the work, be sure not to leave the sausages in for too long, as they can become overly soft and mushy. 4-6 hours is the perfect time.
- Keep it Simple: This recipe only calls for two ingredients, but you can jazz it up by adding minced garlic, onion powder, or a bit of honey to the sauce for added sweetness or spice.
- Make it Spicy: For those who like a little heat, add a teaspoon of chili flakes or a few dashes of cayenne pepper to the BBQ sauce.
