This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a crowd

If you double the recipe, use a 6-quart slow cooker instead of a 4-quart slow cooker.

How To Serve

You don’t even have to transfer these Bourbon Smokies to a bowl. The best way to serve them is right out of the slow cooker so they stay warm. Just put out some toothpicks next to the slow cooker.
