Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb smoked sausage cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb bacon strips halved
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
  2. Wrap each sausage piece in a half strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  3. Toss the wrapped bites in brown sugar and paprika until coated.
  4. Arrange on the sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until the bacon is crisp and caramelized.
  5. Let rest 5 minutes before serving so the sugar sets.

Notes

Use thin-cut bacon so it crisps in the same time the sausage warms.
