Ingredients
Scale
Smokies and Sauce
- 24 ounces little smokies (2 packages)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 ounces bourbon whiskey
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the little smokies, light brown sugar, bourbon whiskey, ketchup, dry mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce to a crockpot. Stir thoroughly until all the smokies are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Cook Smokies: Set the crockpot to high heat and cook the mixture for 2 hours. This allows the smokies to absorb the rich flavors and the sauce to thicken slightly, creating a tasty glaze.
Notes
- For a milder bourbon flavor, reduce the bourbon quantity slightly or cook on low for a longer time.
- These smokies can also be prepared in a slow cooker on low heat for 4 hours if preferred.
- Serve warm as a party appetizer with toothpicks for easy snacking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
