One 13-ounce package cocktail franks, such as Lit'l Smokies

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne pepper and mix well. Set aside.
  • Slice the bacon strips into thirds. Wrap each frank with a piece of bacon, secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and bacon. Thoroughly coat each bacon-wrapped frank in the brown sugar mixture and place back on the baking sheet.

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds
1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners
¾ cup brown sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
  • Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.
