This quick and easy Little Smokies Recipe combines little smokie sausages in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce with a hint of spice. They are almost impossible to stop eating and always a huge party hit. I love to serve them for movie night, game day, potlucks, and patio parties.
This recipe is adaptable to a crock pot, the stovetop, or the oven. It take less than 5 minutes prep time and is easily customizable to suit your taste. Little smokies come in a variety of flavors like beef, pork and chicken, and turkey. They are available at most grocery stores year round and they make a fabulous quick and easy appetizer.
How to cook little smokies
- Crock Pot – add the little smokies to the crock pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the crock pot and stir to combine. Cover and heat on low for 2 hours.
- Stovetop – add the little smokies to a skillet. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the little smokies are glazed and warmed through or for about 20 minutes.
- Oven – add the little smokies to a baking dish. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until glazed and heated through.
Little Smokies Recipe tips
- I like to use a Kansas City style bbq sauce with lots of spice and flavor but you can use any kind of bbq sauce.
- Little smokes are available in several flavors including beef, chicken and pork, turkey, and polish smoked sausage. Our favorite is the chicken and pork but they all taste good in this recipe.
- The chili sauce is optional but highly recommended. It gives the sauce a little needed kick but it is not overly spicy. It is tamed by the sweetness of the brown sugar and bbq sauce.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave at a reduced powder
