Are these called mini-wieners, cocktails sausages, mini-franks or lil' smokies?
Oh, the age-old question of what to call a mini-wiener! It seems like every time you turn around; there's a new name for these tiny, tasty treats.
Cocktail wieners, mini-franks, Lil smokies, Vienna sausages, party wieners... the list goes on and on. It's like a never-ending sausage party.
We like to call them "fun-sized franks" because they're so darn adorable and perfect for a party.
But really, you can call them whatever you want, as long as you don't call them late for dinner!
Can this be prepared in advance using a slow cooker?
Of course! To prepare this dish in advance, add all the ingredients to a slow cooker.
Turn on low if you have hours until your guests arrive and high if you have fewer hours before guests will show up.
This simple yet tasty dish is perfect for entertaining, as it can be prepared in advance and kept warm in a slow cooker on low heat until ready to serve.
It's a crowd-pleaser that is sure to be a hit with guests of all ages.
