Lil’ smokies are a classic. It’s usually my sister who brings them to a party but this time I brought them and gave them a new twist. Asian BBQ lil’ smokies are officially a hit at our house and they’re really so easy to make. The best part is that you can just throw them in the crockpot and enjoy the results a few hours later!
A few of my favorite things to have on hand for game-day recipes are Guldens mustard, Hunts ketchup and Hebrew National hot dogs – I like to know that my hot dogs are 100% real meat if you know what I mean. What are your favorite must-haves for tailgating season?!

Thank you, I’ve had these like twice as a kid but never knew what they were..wow they are easy to make and I just bought a crockpot lucky me!
Aren’t they great? So glad you enjoy them!
I wanna try at home basket random now!
The kind of the formula was yummy. I felt that it was a piece solid and would profit from a vermicelli noodle or a rice to weaken the solid taste. I likewise added cilantro to the top and a few squashed peanuts.
