Description

Delicious and easy Crockpot BBQ Little Smokies recipe featuring smoky, sweet sausages slow-cooked in a tangy barbecue sauce, perfect for parties or casual gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale

Sauce

  • 2 cups Tomato ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons liquid smoke
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup onion, minced

Sausages

  • 2 13 ounce packages Little Smokies
  • Green onions for garnish, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In the crockpot, combine tomato ketchup, liquid smoke, brown sugar, and minced onion. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Add the sausages: Place the Little Smokies into the crockpot and stir to coat them thoroughly with the barbecue sauce mixture.
  3. Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high heat for 2 hours or on low heat for 3 hours until sausages are heated through and flavors meld.
  4. Serve: Switch the crockpot to warm mode to keep the sausages hot. Serve garnished with chopped green onions if desired, or transfer to a serving bowl for immediate consumption.

Notes

  • Substitute liquid smoke with soy sauce for an Asian-inspired flavor twist.
  • Keep warm in the crockpot if not serving immediately to maintain temperature and flavor.
  • Chop green onions just before serving for fresh garnish.
  • This dish can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
  • Use a slow cooker liner for easier cleanup.
