Ingredients

16 ounces Lil Smokies sausages
1 cup Barbecue sauce
0.25 cups Brown sugar
0.25 cups Ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
0.5 teaspoons Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the Lil Smokies sausages to the saucepan and stir until fully coated with the sauce.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer the sausages for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the saucepan from the heat.

Step 6

Serve warm in a bowl with toothpicks or on a platter as a fun appetizer. Enjoy!
