Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound bacon cut into thirds
  • 1 pound Lil' Smokies small sausages
  • 1 stick 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar

Method
 

  1. Prepare the oven - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven is heating, prepare a baking dish large enough to fit all the wrapped smokies in a single layer.
  2. Wrap the smokies - Take each strip of bacon (already cut into thirds) and wrap it around a smokie sausage. Place each wrapped smokie in the baking dish, ensuring they're arranged in a single layer for even cooking.
  3. Make the butter sauce - In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Add the sauce - Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the wrapped smokies in the baking dish, making sure to coat them all.
  5. Top with more sugar - Sprinkle the remaining cup of brown sugar evenly over all the smokies. This will help create a delicious caramelized crust during baking.
  6. Bake to perfection - Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Then increase the oven temperature to 400°F (205°C) and continue baking for about 5 minutes more, or until the bacon becomes crispy and the sugar has caramelized.

Notes

  • For a spicy version, try adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the brown sugar.
  • These can be prepared in advance and refrigerated before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • For easier cleanup, consider lining your baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
  • Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor and texture results.
