CROCKPOT COOKING TIPS: Every slow cooker heats a little differently, so cooking times can vary. Once you know how your crock pot runs (hotter or cooler), you can adjust as needed.

VARIATIONS:

Use cheddar-filled smokies or turkey sausages if you prefer. ½" sliced keilbasa or smoked sausage may be used in place of the cocktail sausages.
Grape jelly and chili sauce can be substituted for brown sugar and bbq sauce.

BACON WRAPPED SMOKIES: (you'll need about 12 ounces of bacon). Cut slices of bacon into thirds, wrap around each sausage, and secure with a toothpick. Place in the bottom of the slow cooker. Cook on HIGH for 3 hours, stirring every 30 to 45 minutes (this helps the bacon and sausage to brown).

TIPS:

Most cocktail sausage packages come in sizes between 12 and 14 ounces, and larger package of 28 ounces. Use what you can find. If you only have 12 ounces that is fine - this recipe is very forgiving.
Stirring frequently will help to brown the sausages. The sausages touching the sides of the pot will brown the fastest. Stirring is especially important if you are making bacon-wrapped smokies (you want your bacon to get brown).

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve straight out of the crockpot with toothpicks.
