How To Make Crockpot Little Smokies
Ingredients needed
- Little smokies
- Barbecue sauce
- Apple butter or grape jelly
What is the best jelly for little smokies
Growing up, my mom always made these with a mix of gravy and grape jelly. They were delicious but since swapping the gravy for barbecue sauce, I’ve loved the spice that comes with it. You’ll get a sweet flavor from the grape jelly but the apple butter adds a slight sweet, cinnamony under-note that will make your guest ask what have you done different with these?
Making the little smokies in the crockpot
- Remove the little smokies from the package and toss them into the crockpot.
- In a small bow, mix together the barbecue sauce and apple butter. Pour that on top of the little smokies and give them a quick mix. Cook on high for 2-3 hours until the little smokies are heated through.
- They are great to cook ahead of time and leave them on a warm setting as the guest arrive for serving.
