Tips:

  • Choose the right sausages: Cocktail smokies, also known as mini sausages, are the perfect size for this recipe. You can use any type of sausage you like, but pork or beef sausages work best.
  • Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is the key to the flavor of these smokies, so make sure you use a good quality sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: If you overcrowd the slow cooker, the smokies will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the smokies so that they can all cook evenly.
  • Cook the smokies on low for 4-6 hours: This will allow the smokies to cook through and absorb all of the flavor from the barbecue sauce.
  • Serve the smokies with your favorite sides: These smokies are great served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker cocktail smokies are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are easy to make and can be cooked in the slow cooker, so you can set them and forget them. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and crowd-pleasing dish that everyone will love.
