The first step is cutting your bacon into 3 equal parts. Use a very sharp knife and eye ball and cut bacon into thirds.
Then you will take 1 smokie, roll in a piece of the bacon, and then place seam side down in your cast iron skillet or baking dish. Do a single row, not overlapping the smokies.
Repeat wrapping the little smokies in bacon until all the smokies are wrapped.
Take your brown sugar and sprinkle all over the top. You can do 3/4 cup sugar if you want them to be less sweet, or do 1 cup for a sweeter flavor when you eat.
Toss in a preheated oven at 350 degrees. Cook for 15 minutes. Then turn the heat up to 415 degrees, Cook for another 10-20 minutes.
You will cook until the bacon is done to your desired preference. That is why the cook time varies. We prefer a crispy bacon. Check every 5 minutes until it reaches your preference on doneness.
Serve up your bacon wrapped smokies with toothpicks or serve without.

Notes
Cook time - Depending on the brand all bacon will cook slightly different. So just adjust the cooking time as you need. Seasonings - Add in a splash of cayenne for spice, or even 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt and pepper for a savory twist. Bacon - You have to use thin cut bacon for this wrapped smokies recipe. Storage - Place all leftover smokies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or you can freeze. Hot Dogs or Smoked Sausage - Some like to replace smokies with hot dogs or smoked sausage. Just cut down to a bite size piece.
