Ingredients
  

2 packages (14 oz each) of Little Smokies sausages

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1/2 cup grape jelly

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, grape jelly, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.

    Insert the Trivet: Place the trivet into the Instant Pot. If you don't have a trivet, you can omit this step, but it helps prevent sticking.

      Add Smokies: Pour the Little Smokies sausages into the Instant Pot on top of the trivet. If you don't have a trivet, just add them directly to the bottom.

        Pour Sauce Over Smokies: Drizzle the prepared sauce over the Little Smokies, ensuring they are well coated.

          Seal the Pot: Close the lid of the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is set to the sealing position.

            Pressure Cook: Select the Manual or Pressure Cook setting and set the timer for 5 minutes on high pressure.

              Natural Release: Once cooking is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for about 5 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to the venting position to release any remaining steam.

                Serve: Open the lid and give the Little Smokies a stir to coat them in the sauce. Transfer them to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

                  Enjoy: Serve your Smoky Delight Little Smokies warm as an appetizer or a party snack!
