What are little smokies?

Little smokies, or Lit’l Smokies, are simply cocktail sausage links made from different cuts of meat.  There are a variety of little smokies, from turkey or beef to bacon and cheddar.

Little smokies are delicious bite sized, cocktail weiners that can be served either as an appetizer or part of a full meal.

Are little smokies already cooked?

Yes, little smokies sausages are fully cooked!  However, they do need to be reheated before eating!

Can little smokies go bad?  How long are little smokies good for?

Since little smokies are a perishable food, they can definitely go bad.  Opened packages of little smokies will keep in the refrigerator for 1 week.  Alternatively, little smokies can be kept in the freezer for 1-2 months.

These crock pot honey sriracha little smokies can be either stored in the refrigerator, or frozen, and have the same exact expiration as listed above (1 week in the fridge and 1-2 months frozen).

To reheat the little smokies in sauce, allow them to defrost overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, and reheat either on the stove, in the oven, or in the microwave until fully heated throughout.

Where to buy little smokies?  Where are little smokies in the grocery store?

You can purchase little smokies at most major grocery stores, or if you can’t find them locally, they can be purchased on Amazon online!

Little smokies are located with the cold cuts and hot dogs in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.

How to make little smokies in the crock pot?

These saucy little smokies only require a handful of ingredients and are crazy easy to make in the crockpot or slow cooker!

To make these little smokies with jelly, simply whisk together all the sauce ingredients in the bowl of the slow cooker.  Next, add in the cocktail sausages and stir to combine.  Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or low for approximately 4.  Lower the heat and keep warm until ready to serve!

Easy peasy, right?!

Packed with brown sugar, spice and everything nice, these sassy crockpot honey sriracha little smokies will definitely be the hit of your party!  Bursting with flavor, fool-proof and ridiculously easy to throw together, don’t be surprised if people start demanding you share the recipe!

Until next week, friends, cheers – to easy and effortless eats!

Recipe Notes

1. If you like your cocktail sausages to be super saucy, you can use 2 (16 ounce) packages instead of 3 (12 ounce) packaged.  So you have an idea of the amount of sauce, I used 3 packages in the photographs shown here.
2. These honey sriracha little smokies can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or frozen for up to 1-2 months.  To reheat the little smokies in sauce, allow them to defrost overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, and reheat either on the stove, in the oven, or in the microwave until fully heated throughout.
