Slow Cooker Tangy Little Smokies
The holidays are fast approaching which means that appetizers are a must!
My husband had the scouts over a couple weeks ago and I knew I needed a meat item on the table with a house full of boys. I came across this recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking and new it would be a smash hit with the boys. These worked out great… there were none left by the end of the night! They only have 3 ingredients and are so easy!
Enjoy!

This is how I do meatball appetizers as well. It's so so yummy!

We use the chili sauce and grape jelly on meatballs. YUM.

We always have little smokies at family gatherings but never like this! I'll have to give it a try this holiday season!

I've used the grape jelly & chili sauce before. I tend to prefer cranberry sauce and tomato sauce. Equal amounts...1 can each. When doing a large amount of meatballs I'll use 2 cans of each. I prefer the jellied cranberry sauce but friends of mine have done fine with the whole cranberry sauce.

Nikki, I have a slight problem with your recipe. You can't POSSIBLY expect 1 pound to be nearly large enough to serve me....can you? :)

I've made these for years. Meatballs or little smokies. Only difference is that I use apple jelly. They're always a big hit!

What is chili sauce? Do you mean a can of chili or a bottle of hot sauce? I guess I have never seen chili sauce... Where do I find it? Also, I have done the lil smokies in a bbq sauce/ketchup type sauce. Does this taste similar?

Chili sauce can be found next to the ketchup :) They are similar but slightly different. Its also typically found next to the cocktail sauce. Hope that helps!

When I make the meatball appetizers the sauce seems to be much thicker then the Lil' smokies. The sauce was very runny so to speak and didn't 'stick to the smokie" I am not sure if I am using the correct amount of grape jelly and chili sauce. The chili sauce I used was far from spicy it tasted more like ketchup, so I added Frank's hot sauce. It wasn't a huge hit on New Years Eve but people did eat them. I will try this recipe again, I won't give up on it!!!
When I make the meatball appitizers I use cranberry sauce and Thai Chili sauce....there is that sweet and spicy thing going on :)

These are also very, very good mixing apple jelly with regular yellow mustard too! I usually fix my meatballs with the chilli/grape jelly but my weiners or little smokies with the mustard apple jelly mixture. You should try it.

Love this recipe!
