Sauce Ingredients
- 2 cups tomato ketchup
- 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
Main Ingredients
- 2 13-ounce packages Little Smokies
- Green onions for garnish, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In the crockpot, combine the tomato ketchup, liquid smoke, brown sugar, and minced onion, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform BBQ sauce base.
- Add Little Smokies: Place the Little Smokies into the crockpot and stir gently until all the sausages are evenly coated with the sauce mixture.
- Cook the smokies: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on high setting for 2 hours or on low setting for 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausages to heat through.
- Keep warm and serve: After cooking, switch the crockpot to the warm setting to keep the Little Smokies hot. Serve them garnished with chopped green onions if desired, either directly from the crockpot or in a serving bowl.
Notes
- For an Asian twist, substitute liquid smoke with soy sauce.
- Adjust brown sugar quantity for desired sweetness level.
- Green onions add a fresh, mild onion flavor and a pop of color but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Serve with toothpicks for easy party snacking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
