- 1 pound bacon (thin cut) , cut in thirds
- 1/4 cup brown sugar , more if needed

- Wrap each little smokie with a small piece bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Place brown sugar into a small bowl. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper if desired, Then roll smokie in the sugar. It's best to do this not on the pan so there isn't excess brown sugar.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake another 10-15 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Remove some of the excess grease with a paper towel when you're flipping them if there is an excess.
- Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any extra grease.
Notes
