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.

CROCKPOT LITTLE SMOKIES

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!
