Notes

My Top Tips

♡ Cut the bacon you need all at once. Cut the bacon slab in thirds and don't cut the slices individually. If you accidentally have too much, just bake off the leftover pieces to make bacon crumbles.

♡ It is easier to handle the bacon if your hands are slightly damp and the bacon will grab the brown sugar easily.

Make-Ahead, Storage, and Reheating

Make-Ahead: You can assemble the smokies in advance. Wrap the bacon around the smokie and refrigerate until they are needed. Thirty minutes before serving them roll them in the brown sugar and bake them.

Storage: These bacon-wrapped smokies can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating: To reheat place them in a baking dish, cover, and warm them in a 350°F/177°C oven for about 12 to 15 minutes. You can also reheat them gently in a microwave using 30-second bursts.
