Notes Lil Smokies are also often referred to as cocktail wieners, cocktail sausages, mini sausages, or cocktail franks. Hillshire Farms offers “little smokies” or “lit’l smokies” in multiple flavors (beef and pork) and package sizes. Use 2 12-14 ounce packages, or 1 24-28 ounce package for this recipe. Sweet Baby Ray’s is my personal favorite BBQ sauce, but you can choose whatever sauce you like the most. The sweetness or heat of this dish comes down to your BBQ sauce choice! Use toothpicks to present your BBQ Lil smokies as easy finger food.
