Main ingredients
  • 1 pound Bacon, Cut Into Thirds Use thick-cut bacon for a more satisfying crunch.
  • 1 pound Lil’ Smokies (small sausages) These small sausages can be found in the refrigerated section.

  2. Cut the bacon into thirds and wrap each smokie individually.

  6. Sprinkle the remaining cup of brown sugar evenly over the top.
Baking

  2. Turn the heat up to 400°F (200°C) for an additional 5 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
Serving

Notes

For a caramelized finish, broil the smokies for a minute or two after baking. You can also use turkey bacon for a lighter option or add jalapeños for a spicy kick.
