Ingredients
- 1 pound thin-sliced bacon (not thick sliced)
- 1 package (14 oz) little smoked sausages
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon: Cut the bacon strips into thirds.
- Wrap the Smokies: Tightly wrap one piece of bacon around each little smokie, ensuring the seam is facing down. Place them in a glass 13×9 baking dish.
- Add the Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the packed brown sugar evenly over the bacon-wrapped smokies, creating a thin layer over all of them.
- Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Uncover the dish and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar is deeply caramelized.
- Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these irresistible appetizers at your next party or game day!
Pro Tip: For an extra kick, try adding a sprinkle of chili powder or a drizzle of maple syrup before baking!
