Ingredients

Main Ingredients

2 packages 2 (14 oz) packages of Lil' Smokies Use your favorite brand of lil' smokies.
1 cup 1 cup of pineapple chunks (fresh or canned) If using canned, drain well.
0.5 cup ½ cup brown sugar Packed brown sugar for best results.
0.25 cup ¼ cup soy sauce Soy sauce adds a savory depth.
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Can substitute with yellow mustard.
1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon garlic powder Fresh garlic can also be used.

Method

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. Make sure sugar is dissolved to avoid any lumps.
Add the Lil' Smokies and pineapple to your bowl, mixing well to ensure every piece is coated in the sauce.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, arranging the smokies if desired.

Cooking

Place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
Once done, serve the bites warm with toothpicks for easy picking.

Notes

Make it ahead by preparing the smokies and sauce the night before, and refrigerating until ready to bake. Feel free to add crushed red pepper for a spicy kick or swap the pineapple for BBQ sauce.
