Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Beef Bacon
- 1.5 lbs Little Smokies Sausages
- 2/3 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp BBQ Rub
- Wooden toothpicks (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper, then place a wire rack on top.
- Drain and thoroughly pat dry the little smokies with paper towels. Cut beef bacon into thirds.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine light brown sugar and BBQ rub. Whisk until blended.
- Wrap each little smokie tightly with a piece of beef bacon. Secure with a toothpick if needed, then roll in brown sugar BBQ rub.
- Place each wrapped smokie seam-side down on the wire rack, leaving space between them.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until bacon firms up and sugar melts.
- Carefully flip each smokie and return to the oven for another 15-25 minutes, until bacon is crispy and caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a preheated oven for best results.
