Ingredients

• 1 lb bacon
• 1 1/2 pounds Beef Little Smokies
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Strawberry’s BBQ Rub

Make Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies

Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees and spraying a baking dish with cooking spray.

Next, cut one pound of bacon into three even sections. Wrap a piece of bacon around a little smoky and repeat until all are wrapped.

After wrapping all the smokies, place all the bacon wrapped little smokies in 1-2 baking dishes. I used a 9×13 baking dish and a smaller baking dish.

After that, sprinkle 2/3 cup of brown sugar and 1 tbsp of Strawberry’s BBQ Rub over the bacon wrapped smokies.

My favorite BBQ Rub is Strawberry’s Grand Champion. Check it on on amazon (this is my amazon affiliate/commission-able link). You can use any BBQ Rub you like or already have in your spice cabinet!

Next, place the bacon wrapped smokies in the oven for about 40-45 minutes. The tops will get crispy and the bottoms of the little smokies stay softer.

Serve Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies

Once the bacon is crispy, it’s time to eat! I made these with some of my favorite Cranberry Meatballs and Spinach and Artichoke Dip for an appetizer night.

Tips and Frequently Asked Questions

• I prefer the all beef Little Smokies, but you can use the pork variety if you prefer those.
• I would not use thick cut bacon, as it takes longer to cook and doesn’t turn out as crispy as the regular cut bacon.
• I used my favorite BBQ Rub called Strawberry’s, but any BBQ rub will work for this recipe.
• If you prefer to add a toothpick you can add one to each little smoky after wrapping it in bacon.
