Boiling. Boiling is one of the easiest ways to make sausage links at home. To boil sausages, simply place them one by one into a pot of boiling water and let them simmer. Pre-cooked sausages take around 10 minutes, whereas raw ones may take up to 30 minutes.

How do you know when Smokies are done? ›

The best and most obvious way of telling when the sausage is ready is by using a meat thermometer. You need to closely monitor the sausage's internal temperature, aiming for 160°F (71°C). This makes it clear that smoking sausage is never a matter of how long you cook, but rather the internal temperature.

Strong or unpleasant odor: A strong or unsavory smell is the first sign your sausage has gone bad. If your sausage has a fish-like, acidic or sour smell, you'll likely want to throw it away. Cooked sausage often has a rotten smell when it's gone bad, so even if you bought it precooked, toss it if you notice that smell.

Reduce the heat to low and let the Lil Smokies simmer in the sauce for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure that the sausages are heated through. Once the Lil Smokies are heated and glazed with the delicious sauce, they are ready to be served.
