Little smokies wrapped in bacon

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wrap the Smokies: Take a Little Smokie and wrap a piece of bacon around it. Secure it with a toothpick. Repeat this for all the Little Smokies.

Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the wrapped smokies in a single layer in a baking dish.

Add Brown Sugar: Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the wrapped smokies.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized.

Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious appetizer!

You can definitely add spices to the recipe to enhance the flavor! Here are a few suggestions:

Black Pepper: A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper can add a nice kick.

Garlic Powder: Adding garlic powder can give it a savory flavor.

Paprika: Smoked or regular paprika can add a subtle smokiness and color.

Cayenne Pepper: If you like heat, a pinch of cayenne can spice things up.

Chili Powder: This can add a bit of warmth and complexity to the flavor.

You can mix these spices with the brown sugar before sprinkling it over the wrapped smokies, or you can season the bacon before wrapping the Little Smokies. Adjust the amounts to your taste preference!

These are perfect for parties or game days!
