CROCK POT GLAZED SAUSAGE BITES

Let me start this post of by saying that we all went wild over this recipe. 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. Same goes for my hubby. He asked me about the ingredients and was totally surprised. I love doing that!Crock Pot Sausage Bites

 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!
Crock Pot Sausage Bites
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
kielbasa
mini smoked sausages (Lit’l Smokies)
ketchup
whole-berry cranberry sauce
grape jelly
Crock Pot Sausage BitesNote: This makes enough for a crowd. Feel free to cut the recipe in half if you don’t need as much. Also, I found a larger 28 oz. package of Lit’l Smokies so I just used that instead of buying two separate packages. It worked out a bit cheaper that way too.

HOW TO MAKE GLAZED CROCK POT SAUSAGE BITES:

Place all ingredients into your slow cooker. Stir to mix well.Crock Pot Sausage BitesCover and cook on the low setting for 6-8 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. Serves 10-12 (probably more.)

    Favorite crock pot meal would have to be Chili Colorado – stew meat slow cooked in enchilada sauce then made into burritos

    My favorite crockpot meal features a ranch packet, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, a little garlic powder and chicken tenders. We love to come home from church on Sundays to this served over mashed potatoes.

    Hhhhmmmmm, my favorite crockpot meal would have to be Onion Celery Pork Chops – put pork chops in, sprinkle with some rings of onion and pour Cream of Celery Soup over it all. Cook on low until chops are done. Can thicken up the sauce to make a gravy for some potatoes or rice. Note to self, stop at store for chops and onion on the way home.

    We've got two favorites. It's hard to choose between them. The first is "Cream Cheese Crockpot Chicken" and the other is a wonderful Crock Pot meatloaf.

    My kids love it when I make chicken noodle soup in the crock pot. This weekend I made an amazing ham using that handy device.

    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!

    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!!

    Boneless pork chops, golden cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, some beef broth and extra mushrooms if you like them. Serve over rice. Yum.

    Tonight my crockpot recipe was super simple = Italian sausage and a mixture of store bought spaghetti sauce and my own frozen sauce made last summer. I needed a quick meal to get the grandkids to a band concert on time. Fifteen minutes before we ate, we made the pasta, veggie, and some garlic bread. Simple and good. For a real recipe in the crockpot, I like Italian beef

    I just found my mother's Mulligan Stew Recipe. She passed 5 years ago and I thought I would never see it again. So needless to say, Mulligan Stew is my favorite Slow Cooker recipe, right now.

    I'm new to crockpot cooking – my hubby is strictly a
    meat/potato man. Tried a recipe off internet for pot roast but was disappointed – meat was still not tender – flavor was delicious. With this crockpot cook book I believe I'd be the apple of my hubby's eyes. Thanks.
