Description
Make these delicious Crockpot Grape Jelly Smokies with grape jelly and barbecue sauce for a sweet and savory party appetizer!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14-16 oz) cocktail sausages or mini smokies
- 1 cup grape jelly
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (choose your favorite variety)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional, for added tang)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the grape jelly, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder (if using). Stir until well combined and the jelly is fully dissolved into the sauce.
- Add the Sausages: Pour the cocktail sausages or mini smokies into the slow cooker. Add the prepared sauce over the sausages, ensuring they are coated evenly.
- Cook the Sausages: Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. The sausages should be hot and fully coated with the sauce. The sauce will thicken as it cooks, creating a glossy, flavorful coating.
- Serve: Once the sausages are hot and the sauce has thickened, transfer them to a serving platter or bowl. Serve immediately with toothpicks for easy snacking. These smoky, sweet bites are perfect for parties, game days, or as a quick appetizer.
