Ingredients
  

  • 1 package (14 ounce) cocktail wieners or mini sausages (frozen is fine)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • In the slow cooker insert, combine BBQ sauce, grape jelly, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce, then stir until well combined.
  • Add the cocktail wieners to the sauce and stir gently to ensure they are all thoroughly coated.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 2-3 hours or on HIGH for 1-1.5 hours, until the wieners are heated through and the sauce is slightly bubbling and thickened.

Notes

For best results, use a quality smoky BBQ sauce. Adjust the brown sugar to your taste if you prefer a less sweet sauce. These are great for game day snacks or holiday appetizers!
