Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb bacon, each slice cut into thirds
1 lb little smokies small sausages
1/2 c butter
2 c brown sugar (i prefer dark brown)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375F
2. Cut the bacon into thirds and wrap each Little Smokie (small sausage). Place all the wrapped smokies in a single layer in a baking dish.
3. Then melt the stick of butter and then 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until mixed well. Pour the butter and brown sugar mixture on the smokies and bacon. Then take the other cup of brown sugar and sprinkle evenly over the smokies.
4. Bake them for about 15-20 minutes and then turn the heat up to 400 dgrees F for about 5 minutes or longer until the bacon becomes crispy.
5. Notes: I like to put them under a low broiler for 5 minutes. I have also left off the second cup of brown sugar and just drizzled a bit of honey over it. Another great and tasty way to do them is to mix the brown sugar with a bit of maple syrup and drizzle over them. If you are using them as appetizers, then secure the bacon with a toothpick and they are ready to serve.
