My father-in-law shared this recipe with me, and our family loves it! Perfect for any casual gathering (say, Super Bowl® Sunday), these bite-sized meaty treats will disappear before anything else on the buffet!

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups brown sugar , or as needed
  • 2 packages little smoked sausages , 14 ounce
  • 1 package bacon slices , 16 ounce

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a large baking dish with aluminum foil.

  2. 2

    Stir cayenne pepper into brown sugar in a bowl. Wrap each smoked sausage in a piece of bacon; secure each with a toothpick. Arrange wrapped sausages into prepared baking dish. Pack brown sugar around wrapped sausages to cover by about 1/2 inch. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil.
