I feel like this dish was a pioneer in the whole sweet/salty phenomenon. I first had it about ten years ago at a friend's house and was hooked. I remember going home and Googling it with no luck...we're talking pre-Pinterest days, people. Dark ages.
So I called the hostess and {ever so painstakingly} wrote down the recipe. Yep. Pen to paper. Weird, huh?
Amazingly, I still have that same piece of paper {ten years of greasy bacon stains and all}. I still work from it when I make this...although I don't know why. It is only three ingredients.

Directions:
- Cut bacon into thirds {easiest to do when still “stuck” together}.
- Wrap each sausage with a piece of cut bacon, securing with toothpick.
- Line smokies in glass casserole dish.
- Sprinkle entire dish with brown sugar.
- Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Serve hot out of the oven...although they're still yummy when just warm!

This looks awesome and I can't wait to try it! However, the link to print the recipe card doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dawn! I relinked it...but I think it may have been okay, it looks like it was downloaded a few times already. It requires two clicks...one to open the site that holds my downloads and another on the arrow that says "download". I hope it works for you. Let me know if it doesn't! Have a great new year!
DeleteThanks! When I tried it before I got an error message saying, "Google doesn't recognize ..." or something like that. This time it worked fine!
Deleteoh my gosh! these look so good!! what a great appetizer idea!!
ReplyDeleteIs there a dip or recipe for a dip that you could recommend to go with these?
ReplyDeleteHi Regina-- I truly think they are better without one. The brown sugar forms a gooey exterior on these, almost like a coating. I'm not sure dipping would truly do anything, but that's just my own opinion.
