Sweet Plum Beef Smokies: Some party foods just make life easier, and this one is at the top of the list. These slow cooker sweet plum beef smokies are perfect when you need a warm dish that everyone loves but that doesn’t take much work to make. Small beef sausages get cooked in a sweet plum sauce, making a tasty mix of sweet and savory flavors that feels cozy and a bit special at the same time. With only a few simple ingredients, this dish comes together quickly — great for game day, potlucks, or any time friends and family get together.
You can serve these smokies straight out of the slow cooker with toothpicks or a small spoon for easy grabbing. They go great with cheese and crackers, a veggie tray, or even a bowl of steamed rice if you want a bigger snack. These also taste amazing next to other party foods like meatballs, baked wings, or crunchy coleslaw. Since the sauce is sweet, pairing it with something salty or tangy on the side makes the flavors even better.
These sweet plum beef smokies are a simple slow cooker appetizer made with just four ingredients. Mini beef sausages simmer in a sweet, sticky plum sauce until glossy and warm. It’s an easy, no-fuss recipe that’s perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day snacking, and it keeps guests coming back for more.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 2 packs of miniature beef smokies (roughly 28 ounces in total)
- 1 jar sweet plum sauce (about 18 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Sweet Plum Beef Smokies: Directions
- Add the sausages to the slow cooker. Open both packages of mini beef smokies and pour them into the slow cooker insert. Spread them out into one even layer so they cook evenly and none of them are piled on top of each other.
- Pour in the sauce and seasonings. Spoon the sweet plum sauce over the top of the sausages so it covers them well. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly across the top, then drizzle the soy sauce over everything.
- Mix it all together. Using a large spoon, gently stir the smokies so every piece gets coated in the sauce mixture. Be careful not to stir too hard, so the sausages stay whole.
- Cook until hot and glossy. Put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, or on high for 1 to 1 and a half hours. If you can, stir once about halfway through cooking so the sauce coats everything evenly. The smokies are ready when they’re hot all the way through and the sauce looks smooth and shiny.
- Keep warm and serve. When the smokies are done cooking, switch your slow cooker to the “warm” setting so they stay hot while serving. Set out toothpicks for easy snacking, or spoon the smokies onto a serving platter for guests to help themselves.
