Instant Pot BBQ Little Smokies Ingredients
Can you believe that this keto little smokies recipe only has two ingredients?
All you need is:
- Little Smokies. You can use the Hillshire Farms Lil Smokies brand or whatever you can find at your grocery store. If you’re Canadian, President’s Choice has some.
- G.Hughes Sugar Free BBQ sauce. You can use whatever bbq sauce you prefer, but this one keeps the appetizer low carb and keto friendly.
No ketchup, no jelly, just two simple ingredients to save even more time.
You’ll also need water, as this helps the Instant Pot come to pressure.
What BBQ Sauce to Use
I was worried about regular barbecue sauce burning to the Instant Pot with this recipe, but the sugar-free variety helps with that. The 8 minute cook time and adding the water prevents burning as well.
If you are using your favorite barbecue sauce, make sure you add the water.
The one I used was G.Hughes Original Barbecue Sauce but you can use a sweet, smokey, or even a spicy sauce. You can adjust the flavor to your preference with this easy appetizer recipe.
