Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds of lil’ smokies sausages
1 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 cup grape jelly
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Toothpicks (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lil’ smokies. Pour the sauce mixture over the sausages, ensuring they are well coated.
Cook the smokies in the skillet for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through and the sauce is bubbling.
For a thicker sauce, increase the heat to medium-high for the last few minutes to allow the sauce to reduce slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the smokies rest for a minute or two.
Transfer the smokies to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve with toothpicks.
