A great appetizer to use in a Crock Pot or chafing dish or for fondue! *I only use Hillshire Farm "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, sourness from the orange juice, and a tanginess from the mustard. These aren't your typical BBQ smokies; There's a little sophistication to this super simple recipe.
