These are pretty good but a few tips that I find really helpful. 1. Use thin cut bacon, the thick cut won't crisp up properly. 2. Due to the short cooking time if you are still having trouble with the bacon not crisping stick them in the microwave until just beginning to cook and then wrap the smokies. 3. Add 1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper to the brown sugar mixture. Also I always cook mine in the smoker to add even more flavor. 250 for 1 1/2 hours and they are amazing!

Been making these for years. Thin cheap bacon works best. I usually roll them in brown sugar.

Great recipe. The only thing I did different instead of just sprinkeling the br. sugar on the smokies I rubbed in the br. sugar onto each wrapped smokie. Used about 1cup and 1/2 of br. sugar. Have made these quite a few times in the last year.

Family loved it. Nice change from smokies & bbq sauce. Super easy as well. Had a little of a hard time getting the sugar to "melt" or glaze. But still easy & good.

I've made these dozens of times. The trick to perfect smokies is to put the brown sugar on the DAY before and let it soak in overnight before cooking. And yes, line your pan with foil! Yummy!

Out of this world! My mom made these Christmas night - they were forgotten in the oven and ended up pretty scorched. Even so - they were still delish! Can't wait to make them for tomorrow night's bowl game (GO BIG RED)!
