Bacon Wrapped Sausage Recipes

BACON WRAPPED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat oven to 400 F. Line a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with foil or parchment and put a wire rack on top.
• Fry the bacon in a large pan over medium heat until some of the fat is rendered but the bacon is still pliable. Do not let the bacon get crispy, or you won't be able to wrap it around the sausages.
• Place the bacon on paper towels and cool it down for 5 minutes.
• Wrap each sausage with a piece of the precooked bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Place the brown sugar in a bowl and roll each sausage and bacon bundle in it. Place the sausages on a wire rack over the foil-lined pan. Always use the wire rack. The drippings that come from the bacon and sugar burn easily; keeping the sausages away from the drippings prevents them from burning, too.
• Drizzle or brush the maple syrup over the sausages and sprinkle with the pepper.
• Bake the bacon-wrapped sausages for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the sausages are hot and the bacon is crispy.
• Remove the rack from the baking pan and cool the wrapped sausage bundles for 4 to 5 minutes before serving.

BACON-WRAPPED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half length-wise (just leave in the package and cut with a knife). Cut the sausage into pieces that are about the same width of the bacon strips. Just toss the ends of the sausages.
• Wrap the 1/2-strips of bacon around the sausages and hold it in place with a toothpick. Place on top of a cookie sheet. Now I like to do these two ways: for a spicy kick shake a few pepper flakes on top of each sausage or for more of a sweeter flavor try a small sliver of candied ginger.
• Top each sausage with a loose 1/2 - 3/4 tsp scoop of brown sugar. The brown sugar will be used to gauge when the sausages are done. When it melts down and turns into a little volcano of brown sugar they are READY!
• If your grill is already full then put these in your oven at 300°F for approximately 45-60 minutes. Its nearly impossible to overcook these, but you do want to keep some of the molten brown sugar on top for flavor. So don't forget to give your guests this treat.

BACON WRAPPED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Wrap each slice of sausage with a piece of bacon and arrange in the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with brown sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crispy and sugar is caramelized, about 1 hour.

BACON WRAPPED SMOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.
