What are Little Smokies?
Little smokies are small cocktail sausages sold in pre-packaged bags. The most well-known brand is Lit’l SmokiesĀ®, made by Hillshire Farms, though of course other brands are available inside and outside of the United States. They can sometimes be found in different flavors, including cheddar or chipotle pepper, but are generally made of beef and/or pork and have a smoked flavor. Little smokies are high in protein but are also high in sodium.
