These delicious crock pot little smokies are so simple to make in your slow cooker, and you only need three ingredients. These are truly the perfect slow cooker lil’ smokies!

My crock pot little smokies, along with my crock pot meatballs and bacon wrapped water chestnuts comprise my Christmas appetizer trifecta.

There’s just something special about a saucy little appetizer on a toothpick that makes me happy. Needless to say, I eat way too many of these little suckers every Christmas!

I’m also loving this particular holiday appetizer recipe because it’s just so easy. This is truly a no-brainer recipe, and as long as you can dump some grape jelly and chili sauce over a couple packs of wieners you’re golden.

It’s really that simple.

This recipe is perfect for your next holiday gathering, and it also makes a great game-day appetizer.

I have a sneaky suspicion that co*cktail sausages in the US and the UK are two very different things. UK co*cktail sausages aren’t usually smoked, and don’t usually have the same texture as smoked hotdogs/frankfurters. Would the recipe work if I used frankfurters (like smoked and tinned hotdogs) cut up into 1½ inch lengths instead?

I just put my small package of sausages in the crock pot with a bottle of honey glazed barbecue sauce and nothing else. Always gone very fast.

I have served a large crockpot of co*cktail sausages in beer and barbecue sauce as an appetizer on the Christmas snack table for many years, and they are always wiped out in quick order! Great for game days as well.

I’m going to make these for Christmas dinner but what chili sauce do you use?

I use mint jelly and mustard combined and put the weenies in it and heat up.

How big of a pkg. for the smokies?

  Good question. I’m not sure why I didn’t have that in the recipe! I used 2 14-oz packages but a 28 oz. package or 2 16-oz packages would be fine too. Really depends on which brand you get, they come in a few different sizes! :)

Instead of chili sauce…. mustard and grape jelly. Sounds weird, tastes great!

Few years back all I could find was smokies made with Apricot preserves and bar b-q sauce. Now all recipes are with the grape jelly. I think the recipes with the cranberry sauce sounds good. The grape jelly doesnt sound as good. Will make with the Apricot preserves in few days for a snack table at birthday party.

I really like making these and am always amazed about the grape jelly.There is something about adding it that totally makes these a hit. We have people over for cards, and hey always get eaten quickly!

Haven’t made these yet but just wondering how spicy they are? Have had them at parties but don’t remember them being spicy. Just see the chili sauce and made me wonder. I like “mild” spice. Would this be too hot?
TIA!

I know everyone males these with grape jelly. But it has a certain “whang” I don’t care for. I much prefer some peach preserves instead.

  Hey Claire, I’ll bet that tastes great. I might have to try it!

I make these every year! Instead of the grape jelly you can use a can of cranberry sauce! Gives it that little extra zing! Happy New Year!

I have only ever made these with bbq sauce and grape jelly. What brand of chili sauce do you use or would you recommend? These sound really good! I would love to make them for Christmas eve!!! Thank you!
