If you’re busy but still love to throw a good party with delicious appetizers this Instant Pot cocktail wiener recipe is perfect! With literally 3 ingredients (4 if you want to add some heat, which is yummy too) you can make little smokies that are juicy and with some toothpicks are the perfect little snack during Super Bowl or just when you’re having people over. Let’s be honest here, I’ve even made them for a quick and fun dinner with a side of rolls. 😉 One of our favorite appetizer Instant Pot recipes here on The Typical Mom blog.
Yep, you know you’ve had them before and they’re delish right??!!
You can use cocktail weiners or those little smokies you find in the hot dog section of the store. I bought wieners this time because they were on sale but I think if I had to choose I would buy smokies.
If you use your pressure cooker a lot to make dinners and desserts you will be surprised at how easy other basic recipes are to make, and in just one minute for this appetizer! If you want to make Instant Pot hot dogs in their normal size that is easy to do as well and great for birthday parties or large get togethers, cheap too!
This is what you’ll need for this easy Instant Pot cocktail wiener recipe
- Cocktail wieners or Little Smokies
- Barbecue sauce – we like this one, remember not to use super thick or honey style in an Instant Pot or it has a tendency to trigger the burn message – 18 or 20 oz is good
- Water
- Sriracha or hot sauce – if you want a kick and your sauce doesn’t already have spice to it
