Cocktail Frankfurts Wrapped In Bacon Food

BACON-WRAPPED COCKTAIL SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large wide pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360˚. Wrap each sausage with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Bring the preserves and barbecue sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan. Keep warm over low heat.
• Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Working in batches, add the sausages to the hot oil and fry until the bacon is browned and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet using a slotted spoon. Return the oil to 360˚ between batches.
• Remove the toothpicks and toss the sausages with the pineapple barbecue sauce.

BACON WRAPPED WEINERS

Steps:

• Line large baking sheet with foil (we don't always do this, but it's easier for cleanup).
• Cut bacon into thirds, resulting in several 3" strips.
• wrap each weiner with bacon, line them loosely in the pan as you go.
• Cover with brown sugar, it'll seem like a lot of sugar, but it cooks down
• Bake 375 for 45 minutes. Broil at the end until top is crisped.
• Hurry and get your share before everyone eats them all!

BACON-WRAPPED LITTLE BOYS

Steps:

• Wrap 1/2 rasher of the bacon around each frankurt, and secure it with a toothpick.
• Place the bacon-wrapped little boys in the microwave, cover with a paper towel and cook for 3-4 minutes, or for the appropriate time, depending on the heat level of your microwave. As always with microwaved food, cook a little at a time, and move the little boys around in the course of the cooking from the outer to middle areas etc.
• Remove the toothpicks, garnish the bacon-wrapped little boys with sprigs of parsley and serve them in hot-dog rolls, as appetisers or with a potato salad.

BACON WRAPPED SMOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• 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.

COCKTAIL FRANKFURTS WRAPPED IN BACON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200c degrees.
• Cut each slice of bacon in thirds-halve each third length ways (each slice is now in 6 pieces).
• Wrap a slice of bacon around each frankfurt, secure with a cocktail stick, then place on an oven tray and bake for about 15 minutes, turning once, until the bacon is crispy and sizzling; serve with ketchup or salsa of choice.
