Ingredients
- 16 oz Little Smokies (cocktail sausages)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 0.333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 2 stalks Green onions (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, if using. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer, ensuring the brown sugar dissolves completely.
Step 2
Add the Little Smokies to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly in the sauce.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the Little Smokies cook in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once the Little Smokies are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly, transfer them to a serving dish.
Step 5
Finely chop the green onions and sprinkle them over the top for a fresh, flavorful garnish.
Step 6
Serve immediately with toothpicks or small skewers for easy serving. Enjoy!
