This recipe is so easy and gives the best results for little smokies that are covered in a sweet, sticky, and slightly spicy barbecue sauce. I have never been a big fan of pre-made sauces, but this one is worth the extra effort.
First, you need to start with a high quality smoked sausage. I like to use Johnsonville brand, but there are many other excellent brands out there. Next, you need a good quality barbecue sauce. Again, I like to use Sweet Baby Ray’s because it has a great balance of sweetness and heat. Finally, you need some brown sugar and apple cider vinegar to round out the flavors.
To make the sauce, simply combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes so you can handle it without burning yourself.
Now it’s time to get cooking! Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces and add them to your crockpot. Pour the sauce over top and stir everything together so that the sausages are evenly coated. Set the crockpot on low and let it cook for 3-4 hours, or until the sausages are cooked through.

Tips:
-If you want to make this recipe even easier, you can use pre-cooked little smokies. Just heat them up in the sauce before serving.
-To make this a complete meal, serve the little smokies over rice or potatoes.
-Add some spice to the sauce by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.
Notes:
This recipe is so easy and only takes a few minutes to prepare. I use my crockpot for this dish, but you could easily use a stovetop smoker. If you’re using a crockpot, just set it on low and let the little smokies cook until they’re heated through.
If you’re using a stovetop smoker, you’ll need to heat your smoker up to about 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place the little smokies in the smoker and let them cook for about 30 minutes. Keep an eye on them, though, because they can overcook quickly.
Once the little smokies are cooked, I like to brush them with some BBQ sauce. You can use your favorite brand or make your own. I usually make a quick and easy BBQ sauce by mixing ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, and spices.
After the little smokies are brushed with sauce, I put them back in the crockpot or smoker and let them cook for another hour or so. This gives the sauce time to set and gets the little smokies nice and juicy.
