How to cook deliciously - Bacon-Wrapped Smokies
1. Stage
Cut each bacon strip in half widthwise. This size is perfect for wrapping around the miniature sausages. Cutting the bacon into smaller pieces makes handling easier and ensures an even cook.
2. Stage
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap a piece of bacon around each sausage and secure it with a toothpick if needed.
3. Stage
Place the wrapped sausages in a foil-lined 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the wrapped sausages. The sugar will melt and caramelize during baking, creating a delicious glaze on the bacon. Editor's Tip: Lining the pan with aluminum foil will make cleanup a breeze and prevent the sugar from sticking to it.
4. Stage
Bake the sausages uncovered, at 400°, until the bacon is crisp and the sausage is heated through. This should take 30 to 40 minutes. Editor's Tip: Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
5. Stage
Once they are ready and out of the oven, let the smokies cool slightly before serving. These bacon-wrapped smokies are best enjoyed warm.
