Little Smokies (Beanie Weenies)
Description
Little Smokies, also known as Beanie Weenies, feature cocktail sausages simmered in a sauce blending honey-flavored barbecue sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, and lager beer. Slow cooking the mixture in a slow cooker on high for two to three hours ensures the sausages heat thoroughly and soak up the sauce's sweet and tangy notes. The balance of smoky, sweet, and slightly acidic flavors creates a sticky glaze that clings to the sausages.
This recipe's hands-off method is practical for entertaining since it keeps the sausages warm on low heat after cooking. Served as finger food on toothpicks, they fit well at casual gatherings, game days, or potlucks.
Ingredients
- 4 14- ounce cocktail sausages packages
- 16- to 18- ounce barbecue sauce honey-flavored, bottle
- ½ cup light brown sugar

Instructions
- Place the sausages in the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and beer and stir to combine.
