Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 14-ounce package little smokies
  • 12 slices bacon cut into thirds
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup BBQ sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Set your oven to 375°F.
  2. Wrap & Roll: Cut bacon slices into thirds and wrap each smokie with a piece of bacon. Place them in a baking dish, seam side down.
  3. Sweeten the Deal: Sprinkle brown sugar over the top, pressing gently to help it stick.
  4. Bake Round One: Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Get Saucy: Remove from the oven and generously brush BBQ sauce over the smokies.
  6. Final Bake: Return to the oven for another 10 minutes until the bacon crisps up and the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving—if you can wait that long!

Notes

  • For extra crispy bacon, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
  • Try different BBQ sauces for unique flavors—spicy, honey, or smoky varieties work great!
  • Use toothpicks for easy serving and a fun presentation.
