Ingredients

  • 14 ounces Lil Smokies sausages
  • 1 pound bacon
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil.
  • Drain the package of Lil Smokies and pat each sausage dry with a paper towel.
  • Slice the bacon into thirds and wrap each sausage in a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick.
  • Add the brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, and mustard to a ziptop bag and shake to combine.
  • Add 5-10 sausages to the bag and shake to coat in the seasoning. Arrange sausages in an even layer on the prepared pan and repeat with remaining sausages.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until bacon is cooked through.

Notes

Crisp bacon even more by turning on the broiler for 1-2 minutes after cooking, but keep a close eye so as not to burn the sugar.
You'll end up with around 35 sausages. We based the nutrition info on a serving size of 5 sausages.
