Tips & Substitutions

Storage & Reheating
Leftover spiced wieners can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them back in the crock pot on low until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals until hot, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
