Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Beef Bacon
  • 2 packages (12-14 ounces each) Little Smokies (All-Beef)
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos
  • 2 tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • Optional: pinch of Cayenne Pepper
  • Optional: sprinkle of Smoked Paprika
  • Cocktail Skewers (4-6 inches long)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place an oven-safe wire rack on top.
  3. Cut each strip of beef bacon in half or thirds, depending on desired skewer size.
  4. Wrap a piece of beef bacon around each little smokie, securing it tightly.
  5. Thread 3-4 bacon-wrapped little smokies onto each cocktail skewer and arrange them on the prepared wire rack.
  6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, soy sauce or coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard. Whisk until smooth.
  7. Brush the tops and sides of each skewer with the glaze and bake for 20-25 minutes until bacon crisps and glaze caramelizes.
  8. Remove from the oven, brush again with remaining glaze, and bake for another 15-20 minutes until bacon is crispy and caramelized.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a platter. Serve warm.

Keywords: For best results, don't overcrowd the baking sheet and ensure even bacon wrapping. You can prepare skewers up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
