❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
The taste of the little smokies with the chili sauce and cranberry sauce is delicious. It’s so easy which is always a plus and you don’t need any extra stuff when serving. You can easily leave it in the crock pot, set you some toothpicks and it’s perfect for a party.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Little Cocktail Smokies
- Chili Sauce
- Cranberry Sauce
SWAPS
You can always use grape jelly and many people have in the past but we do love the cranberry flavor too.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This really doesn’t need a “how to make” section since you just dump everything in the crock pot. That is how simple this is.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Open can of cranberry sauce and dump everything in the crock pot! That easy! We do use 2 packages of the smokies, so 24 ounces. We couldn’t find the larger package when I was remaking this recipe.
⭐TIP
The little smokies come cooked, so they really just have to heat up with the chili sauce and cranberry sauce. You just want them to have time to marinate in the sauce. You can put these in any size crock pot, just be aware if its a large one and the smokies are shallow, they will cook much faster and could burn. So you will want to stir them.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
Someone commented you can add a can of pineapple, we have never tried that, but it sure sounds delicious.
SERVE THIS WITH
These easy appetizers go great with our Amish Onion Patties or Hot Artichoke Dip! You can easily double this recipe.

These are so Delicious
Is the chilli sauce hot? I can’t eat hot food.
No, it’s not hot.
I’ve been making this recipe for 30+ years and it’s always a favorite. My boys love it! I don’t like the flavor of the little cocktail wieners so always slice smoked sausage into rounds. I also added some meatballs last time and it was very yummy. This is a go to party recipe.

I made the Pineapple casserole and everyone raved how good it was. I will be including it in my next big dinner. Thank you for sharing. Darlin Rose

That sounds great. I’ll definitely try the pineapple. Thanks.
Cranberry Smokies….yum! I have made this recipe several times. Sometimes I add a large, drained can of pineapple chunks. Pretty tasty like that too. Thanks for all the great recipes!
