Ingredients
  

  • 1 package (12 oz) bacon regular-cut
  • 1 package (14 oz) cocktail sausages about 35 sausages
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed

Equipment

  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Cut each bacon slice crosswise into thirds.
  3. Wrap one piece of bacon around each sausage and arrange them seam side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the sausages.
  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the bacon is browned and the sugar is bubbling.
  6. Let the smokies rest in the dish for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For even cooking, arrange the smokies seam side down as directed and spread the brown sugar evenly. Refrigerate leftovers for 3 to 4 days; freezer-friendly. For a pork-free variation, use turkey bacon and chicken cocktail sausages.
