Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb beef lil smokey cocktail wienies
1 lb bacon..not the thick cut
2 c brown sugar
2 tsp cayenne pepper(optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cut your long enough to wrap each little smokey. (Cut a normal strip in thirds is about right) I used round tooth picks to secure the bacon and it worked well. You can do this step ahead of time and store in the Frig.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350
  • 3. Either line a cookie sheet with sprayed foil but parchement paper works best.
  • 4. Place the bacon wrapped little Jewels on the cookie sheet.
  • 5. Mix the brown sugar and red pepper in a bowl..we like sweet and spicey togather but the red peopper is optional. Sprinkle the mixture ontop of the little smokeys.
  • 6. Bake for about 45 min but keep an eye on them. I like my bacon a little more crisp so I Just keep an eye on them and until the bacon is crisp enough for me. Plus you want all the brown sugar to carmalize.
  • 7. Serve while warm or place in a crock pot on lowest setting to keep warm.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Lil' Smokies: Look for plump and juicy sausages without any blemishes or excessive fat.
  • Use thick-cut bacon: Thick-cut bacon will provide a better wrap and more flavor than thin-cut bacon.
  • Weave the bacon: For a more secure and visually appealing wrap, weave the bacon strips around the Lil' Smokies instead of simply wrapping them.
  • Use toothpicks: Secure the bacon-wrapped Lil' Smokies with toothpicks to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
  • Bake or grill: You can cook bacon-wrapped Lil' Smokies in the oven or on the grill. If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and the Lil' Smokies are heated through.
