BACON-WRAPPED SMOKIES

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 48 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 16-ounce package bacon
One 13-ounce package cocktail franks, such as Lit'l Smokies

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 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.
  • Bake until the bacon is crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. The rub has a lot of sugar in it, so make sure to turn halfway through the cooking process so the bottoms do not burn.

BAKED BACON-WRAPPED BROWN SUGAR SMOKIES



Baked Bacon-Wrapped Brown Sugar Smokies image

I've seen other recipes for these little indulgent treats, but they cook them in a crockpot and I prefer to bake ours. Baking them in the oven allows the bacon to crisp, the liquids to be released from the Smokies, and the brown sugar to caramelize on them deliciously. It also allows to you control the fat content of them a bit more easily, as most of the bacon drippings will remain on the sheet pan after cooking. We usually make them during the holidays, but they're good for all year 'round, of course. So easy to make!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 -16 ounce) package bacon (not thick sliced, thinner bacon works better, inexpensive is fine)
1 (16 ounce) package lit'l smokies sausages
brown sugar
cinnamon sugar (optional)
toothpick

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Open the packages of bacon and cut the whole slab into thirds across the bacon pieces. I usually cut them straight out of the refrigerator while they're cold, then allow them to warm a bit before wrapping the Smokies - the bacon is more pliable when not very cold, and makes it easier to work with awkwardly-shaped pieces.
  • To make assembly even easier, line up pieces of bacon on your cutting board or a clean counter. Wrap each Lit'l Smokie in a 1/3-cut piece of bacon, then secure with a toothpick.
  • Lay wrapped Smokies on a sheet pan. Tilting the toothpick downward makes lining them up a bit easier. (If you are making a double or triple batch with a Costco-sized 3-pound package of Smokies, continue wrapping until you run of room on your sheet pan, and then - just to make the overall assembly easier - can continue wrapping until you run out of the Smokies and simply put them in a bowl until you can lay them out on another sheet pan later or when your first one is out of the oven. If you run out of bacon before Smokies, you can cut some strips of bacon lengthwise to make additional slices so that you'll have enough.).
  • Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of brown sugar on each Smokie - I simply sprinkle by hand.
  • Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes.
  • Using tongs, transfer the treats to a platter or plate, arrange attractively, put them out for your guests, and stand back before you get trampled in the crowd's rush to get at them. :).
  • Note: I usually make triple batches of these at a time, using the 3-pound Smokies packages from Costco and three packages of bacon. Although best if served immediately, I bake them all up, then freeze them and thaw and reheat in the oven (or even the microwave) to serve. The bacon and brown sugar doesn't stay as crispy that way, but since most parties will have a varying number of attendees we find it's easier to make large batches during the holidays. Before reheating, you can sprinkle a bit more brown sugar over them to make up for any that fell off. ;).
  • Optional: before putting the brown sugar over, you can also sprinkle the Smokies with a small amount of cinnamon sugar, for even more flavor!

Bacon Wrapped Smokies w/Curry PB Chili Sauce image

This little Piggy named 'smokie' and this little piggy named 'bacon' got "wrapped" in each others arms. Then, the two little piggies went swimming in a pool of butter, brown sugar, peanut butter, chili sauce, curry and cayenne pepper before laying in the heat to get nice and browned and crispy on the outside. Get the picture?...

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pkg little smokies
1 1/2-2 lb bacon, cut in thirds (i used thick cut)
1 stick butter
2 c brown sugar
3/4 c sweet chili sauce
1/3 c peanut butter
1 Tbsp minced garlic (i used jarred refrigerator)

  • 3. Add peanut butter and stir until it melts into the mixture. Next add chili sauce, curry and cayenne pepper.
  • 4. Stir until mixture is well combined. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes making sure to watch it so it doesn't scorch or burn.
  • 5. Pour mixture over smokies. Top with remaining 1 cup brown sugar. Bake for 25 minutes at 375°. Turn heat to 400° and bake for 5-10 more minutes. You're looking for the bacon to start becoming near the end of being crisp.
  • 6. Finally, turn the broiler on to get the bacon to that final crispy stage. ONLY leave them in there for about 2 minutes. You don't want to over cook your smokies.
  • 7. ***This recipe makes about 80. If you are only going to make one package of smokies you may have to adjust your cooking time. I just don't know as I've only just created the recipe and tried them with a double batch. Just watch for your bacon doneness and you'll be good to go. You will be in HOG heaven. "Pun intended"
