Do you love Lit’l Smokies? I kinda do. I think they are delish and provide a center piece to so many different recipes. They make great and easy appetizers for your holiday’s, too. I wanted to share some ideas in case you were still looking for something to entertain your guests or for taking to your family’s party.
- Lit’l Smokies in a Blanket. This is a super easy classic. Just separate a package of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls and wrap up your Lit’l Smokies. Bake them until the rolls are browned on top and heated through (use the Crescent Roll instructions as a guideline).
- Tim’s Little Smokies Recipe. I haven’t tried this one but came across it and think it sounds SO yummy!
- Bar-B-Que Smokies. Another easy and delicious recipe. Just put a package (or two, or three) in a crockpot and cover with your favorite bar-b-que sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray’s or KC Masterpiece). Cook 5 hours until hot on low heat. Keep warm in the crockpot and serve with toothpicks, cheese and crackers.
- Hot Lil Wieners. I haven’t tried this recipe either, but the name made me laugh.
- Bacon Wrapped Lit’l Smokies. From the Pioneer Woman Kitchen. How can you resist?
Hillshire Farms also makes a Turkey Lit’l Smokie that has 2/3 less fat than the original. Although, I don’t know why anyone would want to cook with less fat on the holidays! Kidding. Kinda.
Lit’l Smokies Original, Turkey, All Beef, and Cheddar varieties are all available at Walmart.
What do you like to cook with Lit’l Smokies? I would love to hear some new recipes.
Disclosure: I was provided compensation for participating in a Sara Lee holiday campaign. The opinions expressed on my blog are always my own.
My husband is looking over my shoulder, saying yes, I should make these.
I LOVE putting lil smokies in crescent rolls. We do that every Christmas and Superbowl Sunday.
Those things are awesome!!! Claytons wife Staphanie made them one time and brought them up. They go great with mustard or ranch sauce.
