Little smokies are so easy to turn into a delicious appetizer for any party, like the big game or New Year’s Eve. We really love these Bacon Wrapped Mini Sausages with Brown Sugar, but these Crockpot Little Smokies take less prep and are just as tasty.

These cocktail sausages cook up in as little as 2 hours on high, or 4 hours on low. I recommend cooking these crockpot little smokies on low so they soak up as much of the flavor from the sauce as possible. If you wait until the cocktail sausages plump up a little bit, you’re golden!

  1. How much jelly and chili sauce would I use if I wanted to combine the franks with the meatballs and cook in same crockpot?

  2. Does it matter on the size of the crock pot? I think I have a 4-5 quart crockpot. What did you use??

    1. The one I have pictured is a small, 1.5 quart crock pot. Your crock pot would definitely work, it just won’t be as full and will cook faster.

      I’ve never frozen them, but we’ll warm them up for breakfast with eggs and hashbrowns.

  4. Hi there, I am curious if you could a bit more detail on what “chili sauce” is? There are just so many types of chili’s and sauces I just want to be sure to use the right kind. Thank you.

      Hi Alisha, I typically use Heinz Chili Sauce, but there are other brands that may be cheaper. It’s basically a red tomato based sauce with onion, spices, and chili pepper flakes. I find it in the aisle with the ketchup/bbq sauces. Hope this helps!
