A great appetizer to use in Crock Pots, chafing dish or fondue! *I only use Hillshire Farms "Little Smokies".

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This little smokies recipe is perfect if you're looking for an easy appetizer. The sauce has everything in it - sweetness from the brown sugar, sour from the orange juice, and tanginess from the mustard. When the brown sugar melts into the orange juice it creates a superb glaze. These aren't your typical BBQ smokies. Thanks to the glaze, there's a little sophistication to this super simple Crock Pot little smokies recipe.
