Ingredients
- 24 oz cocktail wieners
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp cayenne pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and water until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
In a large saucepan or deep skillet, add the cocktail wieners and pour the sauce over them.
Step 3
Set the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to coat the wieners evenly in the sauce.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and let the wieners cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent the sauce from sticking or burning.
Step 5
Once the sauce has thickened and the wieners are heated through, remove from heat.
Step 6
Transfer the wieners to a serving dish and pour any remaining sauce over the top.
Step 7
Serve warm with toothpicks as a fun and delicious party appetizer!
