Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies
Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies are the PERFECT addition to any party. A little sweet, a little smokey and served on a toothpick so they are easy to eat with just one hand.
Equipment
- 33 wooden toothpicks
- 1 9 x 13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 package little smokie sausages (like these) approx 33 sausages per pack
- 11 strips bacon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Open the package of lil Smokie Sausages and see how many come in the package. This will determine how wany slices of bacon you need. I find there are typically around 33 sausages per package.
- You will need one strip of bacon for every three sausages. So for 33 sausages, use 11 strips of bacon.
- Using scissors or a sharp knife, cut the strips of bacon into three equal parts. You can cut multiple strips at once to save time.
- Wrap one piece of the cut bacon around one little smokie sausage. Secure it by sticking a toothpick through the center of the sausage and the wrapped bacon, so that it comes out on the other side. Tip: To make sure that the bacon stays nice and tightly wrapped on the sausages, make sure that the toothpick pokes all of the way through the other side of the sausage. Then slide sausage up to center of toothpick. You should have about equal parts of the toothpick hanging out on either side of the little smokie.
- Continue until all of the sausages are wrapped in bacon and place them in an 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of brown sugar over the top of the bacon wrapped sausages. Use a spoon to make sure that some brown sugar is on top of each wrapped sausage. Pat it down a bit into sausages using the back of the spoon so that it stays secure.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Tip: Open the oven at the 15 minute mark and rotate the pan so that the back of the pan doesn't cook faster than the front of the pan.
- Transfer the wrapped sausages to a serving platter or bowl and serve warm.
