These Savory Glazed Mini Sausages are a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors, making them a crowd-pleaser at any gathering. They're simple to make in a slow cooker, ensuring a fuss-free yet impressive snack or appetizer.
Mini sausages are the star here, providing a juicy, bite-sized base for all that fantastic flavor. The BBQ sauce adds smokiness and depth, while grape jelly brings a unique sweetness that balances out the tang. Mustard gives a tangy kick that complements the sweetness, and brown sugar adds a hint of molasses for warmth. A dash of Worcestershire sauce injects umami goodness, and both garlic powder and onion powder round out the savory profile.
These mini sausages are perfect for game days or casual gatherings. Serve them alongside a cheese and cracker platter for a balanced appetizer spread. They also pair wonderfully with a cold beer or a light, crisp white wine.
Start by grabbing your trusty slow cooker. Into it, pour the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give these ingredients a good stir. You want them well-mixed into a unified sauce.
Next, add the mini sausages to the pot. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure each sausage is generously coated with your sauce mixture. It might look a bit sticky and messy, but that's exactly what we're aiming for.
Set your slow cooker to low. Now, walk away. Seriously, let it do its thing for about 4 hours. Your house will start to smell incredible as the sausages soak up all those flavors.
About halfway through, give everything a stir. This helps prevent sticking and ensures that all sausages are evenly cooked. Once the time is up, you'll notice the sauce has thickened to a delightful, sticky glaze. Serve straight from the slow cooker or transfer to a nice serving dish for your guests.
