Notes
- Use a SWEET BARBECUE SAUCE.
- I showed you the quickest way to do this, but if you have time brown the smokies for about a minute or two over medium to low heat. Drain liquid, pat dry smokies with paper towel before browning (if you like). I don’t. Pour sauce then follow the instructions above.
- Refrigerate leftover, if there’s any - doesn’t happen in my household, in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
- Instant Pot is another way to cook these Lil Smokies.
