Notes

What are some fun ideas to serve up this delicious appetizer?
This would be perfect for a game day appetizer, birthday party food, a fun New Year's Eve treat, or just the hit food for your next party. It's a great way to make easy party food that gives the perfect balance of flavor. You'll find this at the top of the list of yummy recipes for most party food ideas.
What are some added ingredients that are the best way to change up the flavor?
If you wanted to change up the flavor, you could easily turn this recipe into an easy air fryer bacon wrapped smokies recipe. All you need for the first time would be some bacon to wrap around the sausages!
Can you cook lil' smokies in another cooking method?
You can make these in the pressure cooker , the slow cooker, or even line a baking sheet with parchment paper and cook in the oven as well. This is just another reason that it's my favorite appetizer to make! If you don't have the BBQ sauce, it can cut down on the overall net carbs, too.
These cocktail smokies are really versatile but the speed and ease of cooking are the best part!
