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 crock pot the more flavorful they were.

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!
What size package of lil smokies did you use for this recipe?
Can I use brandy?
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!
is there any reason why i couldnt use chicken?
Hi Kimberly, You could def use chicken for this recipe
Oh yum, these look so good!!
I figured out how to get the recipe for my daughter’s super bowl party – Thanks
Is there any reason you could not use bratwurst for the bourbon lil smokies receipe? Maybe browning them first? Thanks.
