Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) package center-cut bacon
- 1 (14-ounce) package Little Smokies
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- ½ tablespoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and have ready a greased 9x13" casserole dish.
- Cut each piece of bacon into thirds. Then, wrap each Little Smokie tightly with a third of a bacon strip and place seam-side down in the dish. Make sure there is a little bit of space between each one.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper to a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally, and stop the cooking as soon as the mixture has completely liquified.
- Pour the mixture evenly across the Little Smokies and bake for 20 minutes. Baste and bake for 15 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven. Note, the sugar will be very hot. Do not touch. Baste the Little Smokies once more, and set aside to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
