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.
