SMOKEY BACON WRAPPED APPETIZERS

Category: Hot

27 small cocktail franks
9 slices bacon
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
1 pinch cayenne pepper (or to taste)

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a baking sheet. Cut each bacon slice into thirds. Wrap each slice around each of the small smokies. Place in foil-lined baking pan (at this point you may refrigerate until ready to make). Bake for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile in a small bowl mix together the ketchup with brown sugar to form a thick mixture. Remove the cocktail wieners from oven and brush about 1 tsp of the ketchup/brown sugar mixture over the mini wiener. Place back in the oven and bake until the bacon is lightly crisp (do not overcook or the bacon will be too crisp).
