1¼cuplight brown sugarpacked (divided into 1 cup and ¼ cup)
Instructions
Lightly spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Set it aside.
Wrap each lil smokie in a slice of bacon. Place each wrapped smokie in the pan.
Once all smokies are wrapped, evenly sprinkle 1 cup of brown sugar over the top of the smokies.
Tightly cover the baking dish and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to marinate before baking.
Just before removing the baking dish from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 375°F.
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of brown sugar before baking.
Bake for 25 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Remove the baking dish and allow it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not use thick-cut bacon. It will take a very long time for the bacon to crisp.
These will be a hit with your party guests. Make a double batch to make sure everyone gets a chance to taste these yummy appetizers.
You can allow the smokies to marinate for 2 hours to overnight.
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your sausages as the suggested cooking time approaches.
