Crockpot smoky BBQ delights bring southern comfort right to your kitchen table. Slow-simmered meats infused with rich, tangy sauce promise a mouthwatering meal that will have friends and family asking for seconds.
Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 (16 ounces / 454 grams) packages of little smokies sausage links
Sauces and Sweeteners:
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Spices:
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Gently nestle the smoky sausage links across the bottom of the crockpot, creating a single layer that allows each morsel to absorb the rich, tangy sauce.
- Craft a vibrant glaze by blending the BBQ sauce with brown sugar, creating a harmonious sweet-smoky foundation that will caramelize beautifully during cooking.
- Introduce Worcestershire sauce to deepen the flavor profile, whisking in garlic and onion powders along with a sprinkle of paprika to enhance the overall complexity of the sauce.
- Carefully drench the sausage links with the meticulously prepared sauce, ensuring each piece receives a generous, even coating that promises intense flavor in every bite.
- Secure the crockpot lid and allow the ingredients to meld together, slow-cooking on low temperature for approximately 2-3 hours until the sauce thickens and the sausages become plump and glossy.
- Once cooking is complete, gently stir the sausages to redistribute the sauce, creating a glistening, flavor-packed dish ready to tantalize taste buds at any gathering or casual meal.
Notes
- Slow cookers provide an effortless way to create mouthwatering appetizers without constant supervision.
- Brown sugar caramelizes the sauce, adding a rich, deep sweetness that complements the smoky sausage flavors.
- These little smokies work perfectly for game day, potlucks, or casual gatherings where guests love finger foods.
- Worcestershire sauce adds a subtle umami depth that elevates the entire dish from simple to spectacular.
- Cooking on low heat allows the sausages to absorb the BBQ sauce gradually, ensuring maximum flavor penetration.
- Prepare this dish ahead of time and keep warm in the crockpot, making party hosting stress-free and delicious.
