How to Make Beef Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a large baking dish with cooking spray.
Cut the beef bacon into thirds, creating bite-sized pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon snugly around a little smokie, ensuring they’re well-coated.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of BBQ rub and 2/3 cup of brown sugar evenly over the wrapped smokies.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the bacon turns crispy and golden brown.
Optional: Serve with toothpicks for easy snacking! For tips, wrap the bacon tightly and check for doneness to avoid overcooking.
