Crockpot Bourbon Little Smokies
I wasn’t sure what to call this recipe since it seems like Little Smokies are also called cocktail sausages or cocktail weenies, or lit’s smokies, or lil smokies, or ….all the different names. What do you call these miniature smoked pork sausages?

I ended up cooking ours a bit longer because John got held up at work. They turned out great. After the 3 hours, I did stir them to make sure that they were not sticking to the side and were all fully covered. The longer they stayed in the crockpot the more flavorful they were.

I’m not a liquor drinker. Can any whiskey be used in place of the bourbon? If not, is there a specific kind of bourbon you like to use?
Christine @ myblissfulmess says
These look absolutely amazing, and I just love my crock pot! It makes it so easy to keep your hot apps warm, and also to take hot food to potlucks and keep it warm. Thanks for this recipe!

Can I use brandy?
Brittany Clawson says
If I wanted to use 3 packages of hillshire lil smokies how would I do the rest of the ingredients? Just triple them?

Wondering abour mixing half ketchup, and half Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce just for a different flavor to these… Sound soooooo good…. TY

I think that would work great. You would get the tang of the barbecue sauce and the tang of the ketchup. I love this!
