Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 packages (14 oz each) of Lil' Smokies sausages
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 cup grape jelly
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Place the Lil' Smokies sausages in a slow cooker or a large pot. Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the sausages, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: If using a slow cooker, cover and cook on low for about 4 hours or high for 2 hours. If using a pot, simmer on low heat for about 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Step 4: Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce is bubbly, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the Mississippi Lil' Smokies to a serving dish or keep them warm in the slow cooker. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired and serve with toothpicks for easy eating. Enjoy your savory, tangy, and irresistibly sweet party bites!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover Mississippi Lil' Smokies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When reheating, simply warm them in the microwave or on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of water or extra BBQ sauce to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve these delicious bites with toothpicks for easy snacking, and consider pairing them with a side of crunchy veggies or chips for a complete party spread.
  • To elevate the flavor, experiment with adding a dash of hot sauce to your sauce mixture for a spicy kick that perfectly complements the sweetness of the grape jelly.
