How to Make Little Smokies in the Crockpot
Place all the ingredients into the slow cooker and stir well to coat the sausages.
Set the slow cooker to low, cover, and cook for about 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
When you’re ready to serve, set the slow cooker to warm. For a nice presentation, you can garnish with freshly chopped green onions or parsley.
Recipe Tips
Sometimes I mix my jelly, chili sauce, and Worcestershire sauce together in a large bowl, then pour it over the sausages in the Crockpot. That step is totally optional, though!
You can easily double or triple this recipe to feed a crowd!
When considering how much to serve, plan about 4-5 sausages per person. The recipe’s nutritional info is calculated for 5 sausages each.
