Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Smokies
Description
This recipe involves cutting bacon into thirds and wrapping each mini smoked sausage, secured with a toothpick. Each is then rolled in a blend of brown sugar and cayenne pepper, which imparts a sweet heat that caramelizes during baking. The smokies are baked on foil-lined pans at a high temperature to crisp the bacon evenly without burning the sugar.
The result is a contrast between the savory smokiness of the sausage, the crisp salty bacon, and the sweet, slightly spicy glaze. These make convenient party appetizers or snacks and can be prepared in advance and frozen before baking.
Be sure to roll the sugar mixture onto the smokies before placing them on the baking pan to prevent burnt sugar deposits on the foil.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon 1 package
- 14 ounces mini smoked sausages 1 package
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking pan with foil.
- Cut Bacon into thirds. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each mini smokie and secure with a toothpick.
- Combine cayenne pepper and brown sugar and roll each smokie in the mixture. (Note: They can be frozen at this point)
- Place on prepared pans and bake for 10 minutes.
- Flip smokies and cook an additional 10 minutes or until bacon is crispy. (Add an extra 5 minutes if baking from frozen).
Notes
- Apply the brown sugar and cayenne mixture to each wrapped smokie before placing on the baking sheet to avoid burning.
- These wrapped smokies can be frozen prior to baking for convenient make-ahead appetizers.
