Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 28 oz Lil Smokies 2 (14-ounce) packages
  • 1/2 c pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 c Dijon mustard
  • 2 T whole grain mustard
  • 2 T apple cider vinegar
  • 1 t garlic powder
  • 1/2 t onion powder
  • 1/4 t red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes. (Everything but the sausages.)
  • Add the Lil Smokies to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Pour the sauce over the Lil Smokies and stir to coat. Cover and cook on LOW 2 to 3 hours or HIGH about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Stir occasionally while cooking. Once the sauce is hot, glossy and slightly thickened, switch to WARM for serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter version, add another tablespoon or two of brown sugar.
  • If the sauce is too thin, stir in a slurry of 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water.
  • Storage: airtight in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.
