Preparation
  1. Cut the sausage into about 1-inch pieces.
  2. Brown the sausage pieces on the stovetop in a skillet over medium-high heat or in an air fryer.

Cooking
  1. Add barbecue sauce, chili sauce, and grape jelly to the slow cooker.
  2. Stir everything together until combined.
  3. Cover and cook on low for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the sauce is smooth and sausages are coated.
Serving

Notes

To enhance flavors, consider adding a tablespoon of hot sauce or experimenting with different fruit preserves like apricot instead of grape jelly.
