The best game day and tailgating snacks allow you to enjoy the game and company with minimal fuss. These Slow Cooker Little Smokies combine smoked sausage, grape jelly, and chili sauce to make an unforgettable appetizer!

To me, there is nothing more frustrating than feeling like you have to miss the party because your food needs to be fussed with. I love appetizers that I can cook in advance and keep warm in my slow cooker. These smokies are very popular in my area, and there are many different types of little smokie sausages. I like to use the basic smoked sausage, but there are cheese, jalapeno, and even turkey options.

The sauce on my smokies is tangy and sweet. It always amazes me that the combination of chili sauce and grape jelly is sooooooo tasty. It is comparable to a sweet (but not too sweet) BBQ sauce.

As many of you know, I live in Green Bay, Wisconsin. We are a smaller town with an NFL team, and game days are like holidays. Everything stops, drinks and food appear, and everyone watches the game. Our family has been season ticket holders since the Packers played at the City Stadium (my high school) in the downtown area before moving to Lambeau Field. Unfortunately, the Packers didn't make the playoffs this year, but we will be cheering for it next season. In many ways the season never stops in Green Bay. There is a lot to do around the stadium, and the Packer organization is very involved in the local community so there always seems to be something new and fun popping up. Across from the stadium is the Titletown District. They recently build a large tubing hill and skating area, and that has been a lot of fun to enjoy with the kids.

    I LOVE smokies! This is definitely going to be made. This sounds perfect for the game, but also for holiday snacking — my family likes savory snacks, so this fits the bill.

    You had me at little smokies!!! When I read about the sauce though I was MIND BLOWN, I seriously need to make these for our next party! How delish would the jam and chili sauce be together, and so incredibly different!

      It is just called Chili Sauce. It is typically right by the ketchup at my grocery store.
