Servings: 10 servings 1 hr 45 mins Calories: 392 

Ingredients

1 pound bacon NOT thick sliced

14 oz little smoked sausages 1 package

1 cup brown sugar packed (I used less the second time I made these and it was great. 3/4 cup is fine)

Instructions

Cut the bacon into thirds.

Tightly wrap one piece of bacon around one little smokie. Place seam down in a glass 13x9 dish. Repeat with remaining little smokies.

Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar. There should be a thin layer over all the little smokies. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Uncover little smokies and bake for 40-50 minutes. Bacon should be crispy and sugar deeply caramelized.

Expert Tips & FAQs- these tips are great! Follow them!

Start with cutting the bacon into thirds. If you leave the strips any longer they will never crisp up. There may be a few pieces of bacon left over. 

You can make this ahead and bake when you are ready!

As for the pan you use, this makes a big difference. I asked my mom how she did it and she said she uses a glass baking dish, not a foil-lined baking sheet. To clean up after, she fills the pan with hot tap water and lets it sit for a few minutes. The caramelized sugar dissolves away.

Letting them marinate makes all the difference in flavor.
