Just made these for a party and they were a big hit. As per several reviews I used center cut bacon. It is thicker cut and fewer slices per container, so 1 lb didn't cover the whole pkg of smokies. I just cooked the uncovered smokies with the bacon wrapped all sprinkled liberally with the brown sugar. The smokies that didn't have bacon picked up all the flavors. I did the 325 for 35 mins and then put the broiler on high w/o moving them up in the oven and they came out perfect. After cooking, I put them in a warmer w/ maple syrup drizzled over them and they were truly over the top.

Great recipe. I make them every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Covering the bacon in brown sugar first, then wrapping the mini wieners works well. And rather than using toothpicks, I just use large skewer sticks and put about 5-6 on each stick. You can fit about 10-12 skewers on a baking sheet, and it makes it very easy and quick to turn them half way through cooking. Most people enjoy eating them off the stick too, or you can just remove them and put them in a crock pot/warming dish and they don't fall apart after being cooked.

Fantastic!! I can't even remember how many times I have used this recipe and am just now getting around to rating it. I back these as directed and put into a crockpot to stay warm. I never have any of these left at the end of a party!!

These require some work but it's sooooo worth it. Few key things to remember: Prep the night before Skewer them to make flipping easier USE DISPOSIBLE FOIL SHEET PANS!!! Bake- then broil for just a few mins to crisp them up.

I have made these for years with one addition. In our family we like a little zip so we have always added about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon of chili powder. We dont really measure the chili powder just about that much. It gives it a little spice with the sweet. Everywhere we have had these, always ask for the ingredients. YUM

These were great! Took some time to make, but well worth it. Every smokey eaten at party! I "dredged" the bacon in the brown sugar and then wrapped the smokies. Then, added brown sugar on top. Excellent.

Great for game day. Easy recipe, I made these in the crockpot instead of the oven & still turned out great.

These are consumed faster than the time it takes to assemble them! A crowd favorite! Place in crockpot and drizzle light maple syrup on top to serve. Keep crockpot on low or warm.

Everyone loves these! I baked at 325 for about 35mins and then at 350 for the last ten mins. I made them for a house party so after I baked them I put them in a crock pot and poured about a 1/2C Maple Syrup over them. Mmmmm soo good! These are super easy to prep the night before!

I made the Tiger Dill Sauce submitted by Echomoon. It was great served with these tasty little Smokies. I used pineapple tidbits in each Smokie and bacon roll up. It added an extra kick. Friends ask for these each gathering. Keep the good appetisers coming!

A coworker introduced our office staff to these little gems - they are great. She cut hotdogs in half and wraps the bacon around them and cooks them in the crockpot at work. Her method is to alternate layers of the wrapped hotdogs and brown sugar and cook them on high in the crockpot. She starts them around 8:00 am and they are done by noon. It's a long, tormenting morning when you are smelling these little babies cooking and waiting for lunch. We are all very thankful that she brings them to every office potluck.

AWESOME!! I made these for our Boss's Day Brunch today & I think the guys were ready to give me a raise after tasting them!! I doubled the recipe using 2 lbs center cut bacon, 1 pkg of the Beef Smokies & 1 pkg of the Sausage variety. Both Smokies were good but I'd give the edge to the Beef ones in the taste department. That's just a personal preference though. I basically followed the recipe as written since this was my first time making them. My only slight deviation was I increased the cook time by about 5 minutes. Although they were cooked in the specified time I wanted my bacon to be a bit darker/crispier. Just based on this one trial I think I will follow the advice of others & try either dredging the bacon or rolling the smokies in the brown sugar in addition to the sprinkling. I think it will make a better coating but it's an excellent recipe as written. And prep time really wasn't so bad. I think it took me about 45 minutes to roll a double batch & I noticed my rolling was much faster & improved as I went along. Anyway, great recipe!! Thanks for the post.
