2-Ingredient Barbecue Little Smokies
Description
This recipe combines pre-cooked cocktail-sized smoked sausages with a bottle of barbecue sauce, creating a warm, flavorful dish with a blend of smoky meat and tangy sauce. The sausages, sometimes called little smokies or cocktail wieners, are heated gently with the sauce, either on the stove or in a slow cooker, allowing the sauce to coat them evenly.
The cooking process takes about 10 minutes on the stove or 1 to 2 hours on high in a slow cooker, making it both flexible and convenient. The barbecue sauce adds a rich, savory sweetness that complements the smoky flavor of the little smokies.
Often served at casual gatherings or as finger food at parties, this dish offers bite-sized savory sausages with a thick, flavorful coating. Leftovers can be stored and reheated easily.
Ingredients
- 2 packages cocktail wieners (see note 1)
- 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce or any other barbecue sauce (see note 2, Sweet Baby Ray’s brand
Instructions
To make on the stove:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add little smokies and barbecue sauce and cook until hot, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
To make in a slow cooker:
- In a slow cooker, add little smokies and barbecue sauce and stir to combine. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 to 2 hours, until sausages are hot.
Notes
- Little smokies are small pre-cooked smoked sausages available in deli sections, sometimes in large packages at stores like Costco or Trader Joe’s.
- Use a tomato-based barbecue sauce that isn’t vinegary, with Sweet Baby Ray’s as a common choice.
- One pound of little smokies yields about 40 sausages, roughly 8 servings at 5 sausages each for buffet-style serving.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat before serving.
