SWEET AND SOUR MINI SMOKIES
This is a tasty easy recipe that my husband's family loves, and feeding six boys and one girl from his family they all like, isn't a walk in the park. It's easy to make gluten free as long as you have the right mini smokies on your side. Around the Midwest region I know the Wimmer's Meat Co makes little smokies that are gluten free and rather yummy.

COCKTAIL WIENERS
A sweet and savory treat for any get-together that will sure be a crowd pleaser. It's cheap and easy to make in a slow cooker with only three ingredients. I make this for any get-together and it is always a hit! I was a little unsure at first about the grape jelly concoction, but I tried it and have never done it any other way. It is so savory with just enough sweet. I always receive or over hear lots of agreement with the taste of the sauce. It always disappears at parties, and the next day I have cravings for these cocktail wienies. Try it for your next potluck, back yard BBQ, or any event!

Steps:
- Slice each hot dog into bite-size pieces. Mix jelly, chili sauce and corn starch in small pan. Stir until corn starch dissolves. Heat on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until sauce boils and thickens, stirring frequently. Place hot dogs in crock pot on low setting, and pour sauce over dogs. Stir occasionally, and keep warm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, good-quality vinegar, and pure honey will make a big difference in the final flavor of your sweet and sour weenies.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the weenies. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the weenies until they are browned on all sides. This will give them a nice caramelized flavor.
- Add the sauce to the weenies and cook until they are heated through. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the sweet and sour weenies immediately, garnished with green onions or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour weenies are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy.
