Little Smokies Wrapped in Bacon
Ingredients:
-
1 package (14 oz) Little Smokies (cocktail sausages)
-
1 lb bacon (cut each slice into thirds)
-
¾ cup brown sugar (light or dark)
-
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)
-
Toothpicks
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if you have one (this helps crisp the bacon). -
Wrap Smokies:
Wrap each little smokie with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. -
Sugar Coating:
In a bowl, mix brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). Roll each bacon-wrapped smokie in the mixture until well coated. -
Arrange on Pan:
Place them on the wire rack or directly on the foil-lined pan (seam-side down). -
Bake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and sugar is caramelized. For extra crispiness, broil the last 2–3 minutes while watching closely. -
Serve Warm:
Let them cool slightly before serving. Sticky, sweet, and savory perfection!
