Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 325 F.

• Cut the bacon into thirds. Wrap a piece of bacon around a cocktail wieners and put them, cut side down, on the wire rack. Continue until you are out of bacon.

BACON-WRAPPED SMOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika and cayenne pepper and mix well. Set aside.
• Slice the bacon strips into thirds. Wrap each frank with a piece of bacon, secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining franks and bacon. Thoroughly coat each bacon-wrapped frank in the brown sugar mixture and place back on the baking sheet.
• Bake until the bacon is crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. The rub has a lot of sugar in it, so make sure to turn halfway through the cooking process so the bottoms do not burn.

• Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
• Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

BACON COCKTAIL WEENIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray 9x13 inch cake pan with non stick spray.
• (not neccessary but will definately help with clean up) Open package of bacon and cut entire slab into thirds.
• Wrap a third of a slice of bacon around each cocktail weenie and secure with toothpicks.
• Place each bacon wrapped weenie in cake pan, making sure to crowd them together.
• (You'll want to leave an empty space in one corner of pan for ease of basting.) Liberally cover weenies with brown sugar, leaving only the toothpicks exposed.
• Place weenies in hot oven.
• Every 10 minutes or so, baste weenies with sugar/bacon grease mixture and break up any lumps of sugar.
• Continue until sugar is completely melted and bacon is thoroughly cooked.
• When serving, be sure to drizzle sugar/bacon grease over weenies and on the platter.
• Some people like to swirl their weenies in the syrup before cramming them in their mouths.
• I've never really timed this recipe, but I'm going to guesstimate the time at@30-40 minutes.

• My crew will argue that 15-20 weenies qualify as a serving!
