Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 16-ounce package little smokies
- 1/2 pound regular-cut bacon cut into thirds or quarters
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
- Stack a few bacon strips and cut them crosswise into thirds or quarters so each piece wraps around one smokie with a small overlap.
- Wrap one piece of bacon around each smokie and secure it with a toothpick. Arrange the wrapped smokies in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the wrapped smokies.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the bacon is cooked through and the brown sugar is melted and bubbling.
- If the tops still look pale, broil for 1 to 2 minutes while watching closely.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving, then transfer to a platter or a small slow cooker set to warm.
Notes
Use regular-cut bacon, not thick-cut bacon, so it crisps in the same time the smokies bake. Line the pan because caramelized brown sugar sticks hard once it cools. Add the brown sugar right before baking if prepping ahead. Reheat leftovers in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes.
