Ingredients

• 1 cup Barbecue sauce
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

Step 1

Step 3

Add the Lil Smokies sausages to the saucepan and stir until fully coated with the sauce.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Simmer the sausages for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
