Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Smoky cocktail sausages
- 1 pound Bacon
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Optional cayenne pepper (for extra spice)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to help with excess grease drainage.
Cut each slice of bacon into thirds, ensuring each piece is small enough to wrap around one cocktail sausage securely.
Wrap each smoky cocktail sausage with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick, placing the secured sausages seam-side down on the wire rack.
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and optional cayenne pepper, if desired, for a sweet and spicy kick.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture generously over the wrapped smokies, ensuring each piece is coated for caramelization.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has melted into a glaze.
Remove from the oven and allow the smokies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a serving dish.
Serve warm and enjoy this delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors!
