Drunken Wieners

Submitted by Anita Harris

"These are really yummy and make a good appetizer for parties, potlucks, etc...a lady my husband used to work with would make these and bring to our annual Xmas party. She never gave me the recipe but had told me what was in the sauce so I experimented until I got the same taste as the ones she made. ENJOY!!"

A party just is not complete without _beer wienies_ and these made an appearance at my family Christmas gathering. The addition of bell pepper and onion is a new twist on a old favorite. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
