Little smokies are so easy to turn into a delicious appetizer for any party, like the big game or New Year’s Eve. We really love these Bacon Wrapped Mini Sausages with Brown Sugar, but these Crockpot Little Smokies take less prep and are just as tasty.

There are only three ingredients for these Crockpot Little Smokies: chili sauce, grape jelly, and little smokies, of course. The sweet and tangy sauce goes well with frozen meatballs too!
These cocktail sausages cook up in as little as 2 hours on high, or 4 hours on low. I recommend cooking these crockpot little smokies on low so they soak up as much of the flavor from the sauce as possible. If you wait until the cocktail sausages plump up a little bit, you’re golden!
Then all you need are some toothpicks and plates for your guests. This meaty appetizer is hearty, delicious, and sure to get gobbled up at your next get together!

Can the leftover little smokies befoxen?
I meant frozen🤪
I’ve never frozen them, but we’ll warm them up for breakfast with eggs and hashbrowns.
Hi there, I am curious if you could a bit more detail on what “chili sauce” is? There are just so many types of chili’s and sauces I just want to be sure to use the right kind. Thank you.
Hi Alisha, I typically use Heinz Chili Sauce, but there are other brands that may be cheaper. It’s basically a red tomato based sauce with onion, spices, and chili pepper flakes. I find it in the aisle with the ketchup/bbq sauces. Hope this helps!
