What is one of the best things about the holidays? Why, the food of course! Whether it's a big sit-down dinner, or a cocktail party, or a family-style buffet, food brings family and friends together. A great dish I came across this year is Lil Smokie wrapped in bacon and baked with a butter/brown sugar sauce. You can't even imagine how good these things are! They are relatively easy to make, the only somewhat time-consuming part is wrapping each individual smokie in bacon. People love them, guests at Christmas dinner devoured them literally in 10 minutes. Perfect as an appetizer, great to bring to a gathering, or just to eat as a snack, I think you should make these soon!
Bacon Wrapped Lil Smokies w/Brown Sugar Glaze
Ingredients:
- 2 12oz packages little sausages (I use Hillshire Farms, all beef Lil Smokies)
- 1 lb bacon, cut into thirds
- 1 stick butter
- 2 cups brown sugar, divided
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Wrap each sausage in a piece of bacon. Place them on a rack on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Meanwhile melt butter over medium-low heat and stir in one cup brown sugar. Cook til sugar is dissolved. Remove from oven, place in baking dish. Top with brown sugar butter. Sprinkle remaining cup of brown sugar over smokies. Bake and additional 10 minutes. Turn heat to 425 and bake 10 more minutes.
Enjoy!
