My family loves this easy appetizer and it never fails to be a hit at parties too. I am a fan too, but what I really love is how easy it is to throw together, AND the fact that I can make a simple, delicious barbecue sauce from scratch with ingredients I always have on hand in the kitchen.
You could even throw together the smokies and sauce in a freezer bag and tuck it away so you always have a quick appetizer to share with friends!
