By crisscut

Ingredients

• non-stick cooking spray
• 1 16 oz. pkg. small cooked smoked sausage links
• 15 slices bacon, each cut crosswise into thirds
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 15" x 10" baking pan with foil; lightly coat with cooking spray. Set aside.

Wrap each sausage link with a bacon piece, overlapping the bacon piece at the end. Press the end of the bacon piece to seal or secure it with a wooden toothpick.

Place brown sugar in a large plastic storage bag. Add several bacon-wrapped sausages to the bag and seal. Shake bag gently to coat sausages with brown sugar; place sausages in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining bacon-wrapped sausages and brown sugar.

Bake about 30 minutes or until the bacon is browned. Serve immediately.
