Servings: 36 appetizers
Ingredients
- 14 oz Li'l Smokies cocktail sausages about 36-42 pieces
- 12 slices regular bacon cut into thirds
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- Barbecue dry rub or seasoning to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish or stoneware pan with sides.
- Cut each slice of bacon into three equal pieces.
- Wrap one piece of bacon around each sausage and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. It’s okay if the pieces touch — just keep them in a single layer.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top, breaking apart any large clumps.
- Generously season with your favorite barbecue rub or dry seasoning.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and starting to crisp.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
