Notes

You can use your favorite store bought barbecue sauce for this recipe, or make your own. Either way works great!
I recommend cooking the sausages for at least 2 hours so that they're warmed all the way through, but you can cook them for longer if needed. You can also cook on low for 2 hours, then keep the crockpot on the warm setting so that the little smokies stay hot throughout the whole party.
The sauce for this recipe can be made up to 3 days in advance.
