- 2 cups Brown Sugar
How To Make Bacon-Wrapped Smokies with Brown Sugar and Butter:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the bacon slices into thirds and wrap each Lil’ Smokie (small sausage) with a piece of bacon.
- Place all the wrapped smokies in a single layer in a baking dish, creating a delightful arrangement of bite-sized treats.
- In a saucepan, melt the stick of butter. Add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until the mixture is well combined, creating a sweet and buttery glaze.
- Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture over the smokies and bacon, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
- Sprinkle the remaining cup of brown sugar evenly over the smokies, adding an extra layer of sweetness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes. To achieve crispy perfection, turn up the heat to 400°F (204°C) for an additional 5 minutes or until the bacon becomes irresistibly crispy.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality bacon for the best results. The bacon’s flavor will infuse the smokies, creating a harmonious blend of smokiness and richness.
- Arrange the wrapped smokies neatly in the baking dish for even cooking and a visually appealing presentation.
- The brown sugar and butter glaze not only adds sweetness but also contributes to a glossy finish, making these bite-sized delights even more tempting.
- Ensure that the brown sugar is evenly distributed over the smokies to create a balanced sweetness throughout the dish.
- Keep an eye on the baking time, as oven temperatures may vary. Adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired level of crispiness for the bacon.
- Serve these Bacon-Wrapped Smokies as a delightful appetizer or snack, and watch them disappear quickly. Enjoy the perfect marriage of sweet and savory flavors in every bite!
