Football season. My husband’s favorite time of the year. We tailgate for every home game, and are glued to the TV all day on Saturdays when the team is away. It’s like every Saturday is a party for us in the fall, which means lots of fun football snacks and bevs! I am always looking to try new finger foods and game day munchies, and today I am sharing a brand new tailgate recipe: Brown Sugar BBQ Mini Sausages! I am also sharing info on a sweepstakes, so read on!

The brown sugar in this easy homemade BBQ sauce pairs deliciously with the new COCA-COLA® ZERO SUGAR as well as classic Coca-Cola®, and is a must for your tailgate or game watching party. I chose COCA-COLA ZERO SUGAR for our latest game day because it’s low in guilt (without any sugar), but tastes more like the real, classic Coca-Cola flavor.

I got my COCA-COLA ZERO SUGAR, Coca-Cola, and recipe ingredients at my local Randalls store (they currently have tons of great name brand items on sale as part of the Stock Up Sale at Randalls, Albertsons, and Tom Thumb stores). The COCA-COLA ZERO SUGAR was easy to find at the end-cap display in the soft drink and snack section this week.
As you know I am all about quick and easy, and this Brown Sugar BBQ Mini Sausages recipe is super simple. The homemade BBQ sauce tastes delish with a cold Coca-Cola or the new COCA-COLA ZERO SUGAR. But I warn you, you may not be able to stop once you start!
