Ingredients

1 lb mini sausages (smokies)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut each slice of bacon in half. Wrap each mini sausage with a half slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Place the bacon-wrapped smokies on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir until well combined.
Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat each bacon-wrapped smokie with the maple Dijon glaze.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is caramelized. Turn the smokies halfway through the baking process to ensure even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy these flavorful bites!

Pairing Suggestions

This appetizer combines the satisfying crunch of bacon with the smoky flavor of mini sausages. The glaze brings rich sweetness and tangy notes, rounded out with a subtle heat—an easy crowd-pleaser perfect for gatherings.

Special Tip

For extra crispy bacon, par-cook the bacon slices in the oven or microwave until they are just starting to brown but still pliable before wrapping them around the smokies. This will ensure the bacon becomes perfectly crispy by the time the smokies are done cooking.
