Notes

One can cheat by forgoing the spices and adding 1/2 cup of hickory / brown sugar BBQ sauce
One can substitute a 3/4 to 1 lb ring of smoked kielbasa for the cocktail sausages
Addition of washed seeded diced Jalapenos can be considered 
 
I serve with buttered thick cut bread.  (Toasting, garlic and cheese are options)
