This Little Smokies recipe is the best throw-and-go recipe! Mini pork sausages are smothered in a sweet, tangy, slightly spicy BBQ brown sugar sauce, then warmed in the slow cooker!
Combine all ingredients in a 2-3 quart slow cooker and cook on low for 3-4 hours or high for 1.5-2 hours until heated through.
Taste and adjust as needed (you can add more spice or more sweetness as you desire before serving).
Serve with toothpicks as an appetizer, or with a ladle for a main dish.
