Ingredients
- 2 lbs Cocktail sausages (little smokies or mini hot dogs)
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 cup Grape jelly
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat
Directions
Step 1
Add the barbecue sauce, grape jelly, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) to your slow cooker and whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Add the cocktail sausages into the slow cooker, stirring gently to coat them thoroughly in the sauce.
Step 3
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to 'low' heat. Let the sausages cook for 3 hours, stirring every hour to ensure even cooking and to keep the sauce from sticking to the sides.
Step 4
After 3 hours, check that the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. If needed, cook for an additional 15-30 minutes.
Step 5
Switch the slow cooker to the 'warm' setting to keep the sausages hot during your gathering.
Step 6
Serve the party sausages directly from the slow cooker or transfer them to a serving dish with small skewers or toothpicks on the side for easy eating.
