Ingredients

16 oz Lil Smokies (mini smoked sausages)
1 cup BBQ sauce
0.5 cup Grape jelly
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Garlic powder
0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients together until well combined and the mixture is smooth, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the Lil Smokies to the saucepan.

Step 4

Stir gently to coat the sausages evenly in the sauce.

Step 5

Cover the saucepan and let the sausages simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.

Step 6

Transfer the Lil Smokies to a serving dish and serve warm with toothpicks for easy grabbing.

Step 7

Optional: Keep warm by transferring to a slow cooker on the ‘keep warm’ setting if serving over an extended period of time.
