Ingredients
- 10.0666666666667 lb Li'l Smokies
- 120.8 oz center cut bacon
Glaze:
- .330.022 cup brown sugar
- .250.0166666666667 cup real maple syrup
- 10.0666666666667 tbsp Dijon mustard
- Pinch cayenne pepper
Steps
- Pat the smokies with paper towel to dry. Place the smokies in a single layer on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer for about 45 minutes.
- Cut the bacon strips into thirds. Separate and place on parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes. (The freezing of both meats makes the bacon adhere to the smokies better when wrapping.)
- Remove meats from freezer and wrap a piece of bacon around each smokie. Arrange the wrapped smokies, seam side down on a rimmed cookie sheet lined with heavy foil. Make the glaze by whisking the ingredients together and then generously brush each smokie.
- Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven until bacon is crisped and the glaze is bubbly, about 35 minutes. Remove immediately on to a serving platter or a slow cooker to keep them warm.
