I love making – and eating – appetizers. Most of the time I’d prefer to eat a meal of appetizers than an entrée. I also think a spread of finger foods is just perfect for a party, holiday gathering or New Year’s Eve celebration with the kids.

One of the best appetizer recipes is bacon-wrapped sausages, otherwise known as bacon-wrapped cocktail franks or smokies or Christmas pigs in a blanket. Whatever name you prefer, in my opinion, it’s the best kind of appetizer for three reasons:

The reason that the cocktail smokies stay warm is because you make them in the slow cooker! That’s also what makes this recipe so easy. If you ask my husband and sons, they’ll tell you that bacon makes everything better. Win-win! If you’ve never made pigs in a blanket before, I hope you’ll add it to your list. You won’t be disappointed! In fact, your guests may like it so much that they ask you to make it again and again!

Have guests serve themselves straight from the slow cooker in order to keep the sausages warm for a long period of time or transfer them to a serving dish.
