Ingredients for Bacon Wrapped Smokies
- Cocktail Franks
- 1 package (12 ounces) bacon
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
How to Make Bacon Wrapped Smokies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut bacon slices into thirds. Wrap each mini-smokie with a piece of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
- In a baking dish or shallow baking pan, sprinkle 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar evenly across the bottom.
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped smokies on top of the brown sugar.
- Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until bacon is crispy and smokies are heated through. For extra smoky flavor, broil for the last minute.
- (Optional) For slow cooker preparation: Place bacon-wrapped smokies in slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours or until heated through.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
