Bacon wrapped little smokies
Servings 32 smokies
Equipment
- sheet pan
- Parchment Paper
- Toothpicks
Ingredients
- 2 (12 ounce) packages of little smokies
- 1 package bacon (you'll need about 12 slices)
- ¾ cup dark or light brown sugar
- ¼ cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment. (Don't be like me and attempt aluminum foil...they will stick!)
- Remove the smokies from the package and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Remove the bacon from the package and cut the slices into 3 equal parts (see photos above)
- Separate the bacon slices and add them to a large zip-top bag. Add in the brown sugar, seal the bag, and shake it around to coat the bacon in the brown sugar.
- Take one smokie at a time and wrap 1 piece of sugared bacon around it and secure the end with a toothpick. Repeat with all of the smokies/bacon and place them on your lined sheet pan.
- Place the pan in the oven and cook the bacon wrapped smokies for 25 minutes.
- After the 25 minutes, carefully remove them from the oven and brush with maple syrup. I like to shake the pan around just a little bit to roll the smokies around and coat them.
- Place the pan back in the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or unti your bacon has started to caramelize. Keep a close eye on them towards the end so they don't burn. A little char on the bottom is fine though.
- Remove from the oven, allow them to cool for about 10 minutes and serve warm.
