A DELICIOUS AND EASY APPETIZER RECIPE

Let me start this post off by saying that we all went wild over these Crock Pot Glazed Sausages. My son kept going back for another bite. Then another. And then another. He normally doesn’t care for cranberry, but in this case, he really had no idea it was one of the ingredients.

CROCK POT GLAZED SAUSAGES APPETIZER OR SNACK!

I make something similar with Meatballs Except that recipe just uses grape jelly and chili sauce or BBQ sauce. This mixture of cranberry and ketchup was a nice change to that recipe. This recipe comes from Gooseberry Patch’s latest cookbook, ‘101 Super-Easy Slow-Cooker Recipes‘. They had my attention at “Super Easy” and “Slow Cooker”!

I have had lots of fun cooking from this cookbook. There is a little something in here for everyone. You’ve got appetizers, main meals, soups and even desserts! I shared another recipe from this cookbook earlier this month if you missed it. It was the Crock Pot Taco Joes. SO good!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

kielbasa
mini smoked sausages (Lit’l Smokies)
ketchup
whole-berry cranberry sauce
grape jelly

kielbasa, Lit'l smokies, ketchup, whole berry cranberry sauce, grape jelly.

Note: This makes enough for a crowd. Feel free to cut the recipe in half if you don’t need as much.

HOW TO MAKE GLAZED CROCK POT SAUSAGES:

Place all ingredients into your slow cooker.

Stir to mix well. Cover and cook on the low setting for 4-6 hours. The sausages are already pre-cooked. We’re really just warming them up here and making a yummy sauce for them to bathe in.

Then serve straight from the slow cooker or set them out with toothpicks.

Has anyone used Pepper Jelly instead of Grape Jelly..for The Sausage and Cocktail Recipe? Just a thought!

I have several crock pot favs – such as Beef Stew and Chili -as well as Roast -taters(potatoes for city folks -LOL) and carrots –
Thanks for sharing the new ideas! My problem is I am not a morning person – I generally get up in just enough time to get myself read to get out the door! I like these simple one that I can call home and tell hubby how to do – then he feels like he has cooked and I walk in to supper almost complete. WIN _WIN!!

Pork roast and sourkraut, oldie but goody Roast with potatoes and carrots.

I love to use my crockpot! I like roast beef with vegetables a lot.

Pork chops with Italian dressing mix, cream cheese and cream of chicken soup.

Our favorite is pork chops with golden mushroom soup served over rice.

I love creamy italian chicken in the crockpot!

I love crock pot recipes. They are great for making a warm cozy meal in the winter and the best for making meals in the summer when you don't want to turn on the oven! Thank you so much for the give away and for your fabulous blog!
