Ingredients

16 ounces Mini beef or pork sausages (cocktail franks)
1 cup Ketchup
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
2 teaspoons Prepared mustard (yellow or Dijon)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
0.5 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional for extra spiciness)
0.25 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Place the mini sausages in a medium-sized saucepan or deep skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), and water until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the sauce mixture over the sausages in the pan, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Stir occasionally and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the sausages cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Once the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly to coat them, remove from heat.

Step 6

Serve warm as is or with toothpicks for easy snacking. Enjoy!
