Bacon Wrapped Smokies in Brown Sugar & BUTTER!!!

I know, the holiday season of gluttony has since passed.....but thank goodness for our American culture which encourages us to celebrate every and any occasion, so we can flex our strong and well developed consumer muscles. What's next on the list??? Super Bowl.....uh, yeah....I sooooo don't care about the game....BUT I AM SUPER INTERESTED IN THE SNACKS!

 

So, we have all had bacon wrapped hot dogs...aka DANGER DOGS! Muah, muah....muchos besos to the street vendors in Tijuana who have coined this term! Love eating street food in Tijuana, Mexicali or any other city! Can't wait til drug lords stop ruining my travel agenda with their petty little war. I need a San Marcos Mexican blanket! It has been so freakin cold! I need an awesome tigre cobija (tiger blanket) to warm me up! Sorry, that's off topic. Well as I was saying, I think that these lil pups are way more dangerous than an ordinary danger dog....being that they are BATHED IN BUTTER!!!!! Sound over the top? Well, it is amigos! Okay lets enter this delicious weenie wonderland so that we may devour their delishuz greezyness!

 

 

BACON WRAPPED SMOKIES IN BROWN SUGAR AND BUTTER

 1 lb bacon cut into thirds

1 pack Lil Smokies

1 stick butter~yes 1 whole stick of butter

2 cups of brown sugar

 

Preheat oven to 345 degrees. Cut bacon into thirds, wrap around lil smokies and arrange in a 9x13 baking dish in a single layer. Gently melt stick of butter and brown sugar, until smooth and well incorporated. POUR THIS MIX OVER THE SMOKIES CAREFULLY. Now take the other cup of brown sugar and sprinkle it over the smokies. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Then turn heat up to 400 degrees for approximately another 5 minutes or until they are crispy.

 

Crispy like this! :) Actually added this pic hoping it would be the one that shows in the thumbnail.

 

Your mixture should look like this. Now, there should be smokies in this pan, but I was making 3 dishes at once and got side tracked. Don't worry...it still worked out!

Place bacon wrapped smokies in a single layer and then sprinkle with the other cup of brown sugar.





Now take them out and eat one quick....hurry because they wont last long!

 

Next time I am going to add chili flakes to the brown sugar & butter mix, like I do to my spicy brown sugar bacon.....oh yeah! I will do a post on that soon...been making it for a few years now but it has been a while since I made some...no bueno!!!

Enjoy this recipe my friends! Let me know if you try this!
