It’s not a Party with out the little smokies. This recipe for Slow Cooker Molasses Barbecue Little Smokies has a great sauce that you’ll love.
My sister-in-law makes these lit’l smokies for our family get-togethers. They all quickly disappear, they are that good. My daughter Lola always asks if Auntie Annesha is making these smokies for every party. I’ve had to learn how to make them for the parties Auntie Annesha is not at!
What’s great about this recipe is that you can leave it on low or warm for hours and hours during the party and they just get better! They start to soak up even more flavor as the party goes on. I get the Lit’l smokies that have beef, turkey and pork in them, I like the flavor of them. Choose which ever is your favorite though! I usually serve these with toothpicks but the last party I brought these to, every one scooped them on to their plate with the rest of their food and ate them with a fork, probably can eat them faster that way. 🙂

can something other than beer be used? maybe apple juice
Yes, or apple cider. Or it can be left out. I’ve done it without before.
I see there are some of the nutritional facts. But do you know how many grams of fat is in each serving?
Hi Mary, thank you for pointing that out. I fixed it. The other values have changed too! and yikes, things are high!
Hi Sarah, Can you tell me what Little Smokies are so maybe we have an alternative down under in Aus.
I would say they are cocktail franks or more commonly known here in AUS. as “little boys”
thank you Hazel!
Thanks Hazel, I thought they may have been but wasn,t sure I used to say I love little boys but boy is that inappropriate these days…
