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!

I’ve been using the @theinia_official Flare device and one of my favorite benefits is how it supports lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce puffiness, redness, and that tired look we all get sometimes.

It’s a simple, relaxing step yet makes such a big difference in how my skin feels and looks:
❤️ Less puffiness
🧡 More sculpted, refreshed look
💛 A little moment of self-care in my day

I love using it a few times per week or before getting ready when I want that extra glow! ✨
