Ingredients

16 oz Lil Smokies (cocktail sausages)
1 cup Barbecue sauce
0.5 cup Grape jelly
2 tbsp Brown sugar
0.5 tsp Garlic powder
0.5 tsp Onion powder

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the barbecue sauce, grape jelly, brown sugar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and the grape jelly has melted completely (approximately 5 minutes).

Step 3

Add the Lil Smokies to the saucepan and stir to ensure they are fully coated with the sauce.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the Lil Smokies are heated through and the sauce is thickened, transfer them to a serving dish.

Step 6

Serve warm with toothpicks for easy snacking. Enjoy!
