Bacon Wrapped Smokies
Description
This recipe wraps mini smoked sausages, known as little smokies, with thin slices of bacon cut into thirds. Each smokie is rolled in a blend of brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper before baking at 375°F on a greased sheet pan. The sugar mixture caramelizes on the bacon as it crisps, giving a sweet-savory glaze.
The cooking time ensures the bacon becomes crispy without overcooking the smokies inside. Flipping during baking promotes even browning. Using non-thick-cut bacon allows the bacon to cook through at the same pace without toughness or undercooked sections.
These appetizers suit casual entertaining and can be served warm as finger food. Toothpicks hold the bacon in place for easy handling, and parsley adds a touch of color and freshness.
To present elegantly, remove toothpicks before serving. Leaving them in simplifies serving and eating at gatherings.
