Today is Dip Club, Yeah!!! If you are new to my blog, it is when a few of my friends and I get together to make Dips and other easy foods and hang out. It is a good way to try new foods (especially appetizers) that we would like to try but our family would not necessarily eat. Or if you are like me it is hard enough to make a regular dinner, so adding appetizers to the mix is out of the question. I came up with the idea because I always see good appetizers I want to try but do not want to make for my family because I would probably be stuck eating all of them. So Todays recipe is : Slow Cooked Smokies 2 lbs miniature smoked sausage links 28 oz bottle BBQ sauce 1 1/4 cups water 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 3 Tbsp steak sauce 1/2 tsp. pepper 1. In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Mix well. 2. Cover and cook on Low 6-7 hours. And for anyone interested, I found Slow Cooking Thursday at Diary of a stay at home mom .
