  • To serve, put all the wrapped smokies in a slow cooker on low and add a little more maple syrup. Stir well so each Smokie is coated with the sugary glaze.

Notes

    • If you are using regular bacon instead of the center-cut bacon, you may have to secure it with a toothpick.
    • These bacon-wrapped smokies are great on their own, but for a fun flavor twist you can try dipping them in honey mustard or BBQ sauce
    • Add a little cayenne pepper to the brown sugar mixture to add a little extra spice.
    • If serving at a party, keep the smokies warm by placing them in a Crockpot on low heat (or on the "warm" setting).
    • Store leftover smokies in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
