Bacon Wrapped Smokies

The magic to these bacon-wrapped smokies bites is in the sauce. A scrumptious combination of ketchup, brown sugar, sauce, and garlic powder give each bite a wonderful sweet and smoky flavor. The smokiness of the bacon and the sticky sweet flavor of the sauce is perfect.

After you bake the little smokies, remove the pan from the oven and switch it to boil. Baste the cooked smokies with a little bbq sauce, and broil several minutes, until it’s sticky. Bacon Brown Sugar Smokies are the easiest and most popular holiday appetizer you’ll find at any event.
