Little Smokies (Beanie Weenies)
Little Smokies are small cocktail sausages slow-cooked in a flavorful sauce of honey-flavored barbecue sauce, brown sugar, white vinegar, and lager beer. Cooking them on high until warmed through allows the sausages to absorb the sweet and tangy sauce, creating a rich, sticky coating. This dish is easy to prepare and works well as a warm appetizer or party snack.
