A crowd-pleasing appetizer featuring mini smoked sausages wrapped in crispy bacon and coated in sweet brown sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package Little Smokies (mini smoked sausages)
  • 1 package regular-cut bacon (cut in half)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • Black pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  2. Cut bacon slices in half to make shorter pieces for wrapping.
  3. Wrap each Little Smokie in a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  4. Place brown sugar in a zip-top bag. Add several bacon-wrapped smokies and gently shake to coat.
  5. Arrange the coated smokies on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Sprinkle any leftover brown sugar on top, and optionally, a dash of black pepper.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until bacon is crispy and sugar is caramelized.
  8. For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes while watching closely.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

For lower fat, use turkey bacon. Adjust cooking time accordingly if using thick-cut bacon.
