Cocktail Wieners
From my Mom

1 package "Little Smokies" Sausages
Chili Sauce

In a small saucepan combine equal amounts of chili sauce and grape jelly. For one package of Little Smokies I usually do 2 Tbls each. Whisk smooth and heat over medium-low heat. Add sausages and heat until warmed through.
