Ingredients for Baked Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies

  • 1 package (12 ounces) bacon, halved lengthwise
  • Sausages
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • Cinnamon Sugar
  • Toothpick

How to Make Baked Bacon Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Wrap each smokie with a half-strip of bacon, securing with a toothpick if needed.
  4. Roll each bacon-wrapped smokie in the brown sugar mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  5. Place the smokies on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar is caramelized. You may need to rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Carefully remove toothpicks before eating.

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!
