Ingredients for Bacon

  • Little Smokies Sausages
  • Maple Bacon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

How to Make Bacon

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare 1 lb of fully cooked smokies.
  3. Cut 12 slices of bacon in half, resulting in 24 half slices.
  4. Wrap each smokie individually with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
  5. Lightly spray a large foil pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Arrange the bacon-wrapped smokies in a single layer in the prepared pan.
  7. Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the smokies.
  8. Bake covered for 20 minutes.
  9. Uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is caramelized.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
