Those Crockpot Lil' Smokies don't sound very good, but I want to try it.

 

Are you talking about Hormel Chili?

The ingredients for the crockpot smokies may sound odd...but, we really like the recipe. If you make it...I hope you like it as well. It is a easy no-fuss recipe and the smokies have a great taste.

 

Not sure what you meant when you said...Are you talking about Hormel Chili?
