Bacon-Wrapped Smokies
(Makes 16 servings)
Ingredients
1(16 oz) package of bacon, cut into thirds
1 (14 oz) package of mini sausages or cocktail wieners
3/4 cup brown sugar (for extra smokiness use dark brown sugar)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350º F and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Cut bacon slices into thirds. It’s easier to wrap the smokies with cold bacon, so refrigerate majority of the slab when you start wrapping.
Take a piece of bacon (1/3 of full slice) and wrap it around your sausage. Secure it in place with a toothpick. Continue wrapping.
Place your finished smokies on the baking sheet and sprinkle them liberally with brown sugar.
Bake sausages for 40-45 minutes or until the sugar is bubbly and has melted and the bacon is crispy.
