There are times when I need to make a super easy party appetizer that tastes really good. Bacon-Wrapped Cocktail Smokies always gets rave reviews. 

My church hosted a bridal shower recently and I made Pecan Sandies Banana Pudding and Bacon Wrapped Cocktail Smokies. Both of these are simple to put together and disappear quickly. 

I learned a long time ago that recipes don’t have to be complicated to be delicious. Whenever I’m running short on time or just want to make something simple and tasty, I turn to this recipe.

When I make Bacon Wrapped Cocktail Smokies, I always wrap the wieners in the bacon early in the day. That way I can pop them in the oven 20-25 minutes before serving so they’ll be nice and hot and crispy.

I usually buy Lit’l Smokies, but my grocery store happened to be out of them so I grabbed a different brand. Since this shower is pretty big, I doubled the recipe so I bought two packs of thick-cut bacon and two packs of cocktail smokies. There was a whole lot of wrapping going on!

Cut the slab of thick-cut bacon into 4 pieces. Make sure you cut all the way through. Check out how I keep my kitchen knives sharp.

Wrap a piece of bacon around each cocktail wiener. Secure with a toothpick. Place on a foil-lined baking pan. At this point, you can refrigerate the bacon-wrapped cocktail smokies (for a few hours) until ready to bake them.

Sprinkle one cup brown sugar evenly over the Smokies. Bake at 400º F. for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.

Wasn’t that easy?

If you are planning an appetizer party, make sure and serve these cocktail smokies. They are so easy to put together. Plus, your guests will absolutely love them! With football season coming up, these are perfect to serve to your family and guests.
