Little Bacon Smokies Recipes

BACON-WRAPPED SMOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne pepper and mix well. Set aside.
• Slice the bacon strips into thirds. Wrap each frank with a piece of bacon, secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and bacon. Thoroughly coat each bacon-wrapped frank in the brown sugar mixture and place back on the baking sheet.
• Bake until the bacon is crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. The rub has a lot of sugar in it, so make sure to turn halfway through the cooking process so the bottoms do not burn.

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.

• Cook 15 minutes, flip, and then cook an additional 15 minutes.
• Remove little smokies from oven and broil until bacon has reached desired crispness.
