If you have seen recipes for little smokies wrapped in bacon, this recipe takes it a couple steps further. It's totally worth the extra work and always gobbled up quickly! Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) package little smokie sausages |
1 pound bacon slices, cut into thirds crosswise |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, divided |
1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can cola-flavored carbonated beverage |
1/2 teaspoon chinese five-spice powder |
1 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). 2. Wrap each little sausage with 1/3 slice of bacon, and secure them with toothpicks. 3. Place the appetizers on a large baking sheet and sprinkle with 3/4 cup of brown sugar. 4. Bake in the preheated oven until the sugar is melted and bubbling, about 40 minutes; turn the appetizers after 20 minutes. 5. Remove the appetizers from the baking sheet with a slotted spoon, and place into a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of brown sugar and the five-spice powder over the smokies, and drizzle with the cola. If desired, add hot sauce to taste. 6. Set the cooker to High, and cook 4 hours. Serve warm. |
