Notes

For a lighter option, swap beef Little Smokies with turkey or chicken. Try spicy or honey BBQ sauces to vary flavor. Add extras like bell peppers, ginger, or toasted sesame seeds for more texture and taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
