Just three ingredients!

 

You can quickly JUMP TO THE RECIPE right here, friends!

 

Fun fact: I used the be the three-ingredient queen! I literally wouldn’t make a new recipe if it had more than three things listed because I had no clue what I was doing, haha. I am SO thankful that has changed over the years, and I’ve spread my cooking wings a bit. Nonetheless, I still love a super simple, quick and easy recipe with a few ingredients and this one is a perfect example of a keeper!

 

These little smokies take very little prep work, and somehow always disappear almost immediately anytime I make them. Whether you’re hosting for game day, bringing a dish to a party, or just wanting a cozy appetizer at home, these are such an easy go-to option that pleases nearly everyone!

 

The combination of crispy bacon, sweet caramelized brown sugar, and savory little smokies is seriously so delish.

This recipe is as easy as one, two, three! Viola!

 

Bacon Wrapped Little Smokies

One of my favorite things about this recipe is how versatile it is. These little smokies work so well for game day snacks, holidays, potlucks, or a quick appetizer for get-togethers.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz Hillshire Farm lit’l smokies
  • 1 lb bacon, cut into thirds
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. Take each little smokie and wrap it with a piece of bacon. Place them into a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the wrapped smokies.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the brown sugar becomes caramelized.

Notes

For easy cleanup, line your baking dish with foil or use an aluminum pan you can pitch after use (or leave at a party so you don't forget your baking dish!).

    Your 3 ingredient story cracks me up! I used to say that if it had more than 1 ingredient that wouldn’t typically be in my pantry/fridge I would skip it. I love that this recipe only has 3 ingredients and looks delicious, too. I love the addition of the brown sugar on top!

My multiple planner friends will understand the ‘very first’ part! 😉
 
While I haven’t used a Blue Sky planner in a really long time, I have always appreciated their beautiful covers, their accessibility because I find them often at my local Walmart, and their affordability.
 
This chic Blue Sky Life-Note It Planning Calendar in the Latte cover (could there be a better option for me than a cover named after COFFEE?!) is an 8.5x11 productivity machine! ✨ It gives a luxury vibe with the gold coil and written year, and has plenty of space for us ladies who need to write down ALL the things.
 
If you’re a fellow planner girl, feel free to hop over to my YouTube Channel for a full walkthrough of this beautiful planner and you can visit my LTK Shop for the link! Both 🔗 can be found in my bio! 
 
What do you think of this Blue Sky planner? I’d also love to know if you’ve picked up your 2027 planner(s) yet?
