Bacon and Brown Sugar Wrapped Lit’l Smokies

Want a fun, yummy snack idea for movie or sport’s night?  You can call this the main part of a meal but I consider it more a snack type meal.  We’ve actually eaten these for dinner along with sides like fries, baby carrots and even a small salad.  You may need something on the lighter side as they tend to be a little heavy with the bacon.

They can get a little greasy depending on the bacon used and the way you arrange them on your cooking sheet.  I’ve made them laying in rows on an aluminum foil covered pan and on a rack on a pan which kept them up out of the grease.  Either way works but my family prefers allowing them to cook in their own grease.  I have to agree.  The best part of these smokies is the favor you get when the bacon and brown sugar start melding together.  It is seriously the best!

You can use any variety of cocktail link but I prefer Hillshire Farm’s Lit’l Smokies.  I’ve used Lit’l Smokies, Beef Lit’l Smokies and Turkey Lit’l Smokies and they were all delish.  I usually look for the turkey variety to save a few calories but will use either of the other two if I can’t find it.  These heat up nicely, too especially in the air fryer but they’re still yummy out of the microwave.  Your bacon loses most of its crispness in the microwave so try not to over heat.

Bacon and Brown Sugar Wrapped Lit'l Smokies

These smokies are absolutely addictive!  They're so easy to make and go great with just about any other party food.  Line your baking pan with heavy duty aluminum foil to make cleanup super easy.  Choose a less fatty bacon to cut back on grease.  They turn out delicious with or without the broiler.  Enjoy

Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz Package Hillshire Farm Beef Lit'l Smokies
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 16 oz Package Bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cut your entire package (cut the whole slab at one time) of bacon into 3 equal sections.  You will not use the entire package so keep any extra or fry it up while these are baking.  Dump your cup of packed brown sugar into a medium size mixing bowl.  Pull a couple smokies out of the package and roll them around in the brown sugar.  Take a piece of cut bacon and dunk it in the brown sugar allowing it to get a light coating on each side then roll one of your smokies in it.  Set in on your foil covered pan.  Repeat this process until all smokies are coated and wrapped.  Sprinkle any remaining brown sugar over each smokie.  Bake uncovered for 30 - 35 minutes.  You can give it a couple of minutes under the broiler for some added crisp but watch closely so they don't burn.  Remove from oven and allow to sit for 2 - 3 minutes then enjoy.

Happy Easter!! ✝️🐰🐥 Happy Easter!! ✝️🐰🐥
Say hello to my little peep. Okay, he's not real Say hello to my little peep.  Okay, he's not real but isn't he adorable?  I whipped him up in less than 15 minutes.  Super easy and super cute!!  You'll need:
Yarn
Orange felt
Black felt, beads or giggly eye
Pipe cleaner
Glue
Scissors
Wire cutter (optional)  Wrap yarn around 4 fingers fifty - sixty times.  Carefully slide yarn off your fingers and gather another piece around the middle.  Pull it tight and tie a knot.  Cut the loops carefully then trim the puff until the ball is a nice uniform shape. (This was the most time consuming part.) Now wrap more yarn around 2 fingers fifty - sixty times and do the same as you did with the first ball.  This smaller one will be the head.  Glue the head to the body.  Cut a small beak (triangle) from the orange felt and glue it to the head.  Either cut two small circles for the eyes from the black felt or use beads/giggly eyes.  Glue those to the head above the beak.  Bend your pipe cleaner in half then cut it.  Each side will be one leg and foot.  Starting at one end of the pipe cleaner start bending about 1/4 - 1/2 an inch in and then back out again to form three toes then wrap the long part up through the middle of the toes to finish the leg.  Put a dab of glue on the ends and place it up into the underside of the body.  Allow glue to set and then arrange feet and toes so your peep can stand.  Now give him a name.  Just kidding!  Though I won't judge you if you do. 😉

💛 I love seeing my daffodils each spring. I do 💛 I love seeing my daffodils each spring.  I don't have too much luck with bulbs around here partly because of the squirrels and other animals digging them up and my heavy clay soil.  Still these seem to like their spot and that makes me happy.  Can't wait for the tulips to bloom next... 🌼🌷
