SO Good Cocktail Weenies

It's that time of year! Time to try out new recipes and eat lots of party foods!! I found this recipe via Pinterest and the original website can be found here. These were REALLY GOOD! I dare say that I liked them better than the original grape jelly version! I altered the recipe a bit, and ended up using 3 packages of the weenies before it was all said and done!

SO Good Cocktail Weenies

Ingredients:

* 2 pkg. Hillshire Farms cocktail/beef weenies (I used one of each)

* 1 1/2 can of jellied cranberry sauce (I had about a half of a can in the fridge so I threw it in)

* 6 Tbsp. brown sugar

* 3 Tbsp. ketchup

* 3 Tbsp. mustard

* 1 heaping Tbsp. lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat the cranberry sauce, 6T. brown sugar, 3T. ketchup, 3T. mustard, 1T. lemon juice in the crockpot. Stir until combined and wait about 10 minutes to make sure everything gets melted together.  

2. Add the weenies and set on low for about 20 minutes until heated thoroughly.

3. ENJOY!!
