Brown Sugar Beef Smokies (Printer-Friendly Version)

Bite-sized beef bacon-wrapped smokies glazed with brown sugar for a sweet and smoky flavor experience.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Meat and Sausages

01 - 700 grams beef little smokies
02 - 120 grams beef bacon, chopped

→ Sauce and Seasonings

03 - 200 grams brown sugar
04 - 60 milliliters barbecue sauce
05 - 15 milliliters Dijon mustard
06 - 5 milliliters garlic powder
07 - 2.5 milliliters ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Chop the beef bacon into small pieces to ensure even cooking and better integration with the smokies.
02 - In a large bowl, thoroughly mix brown sugar, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a thick glaze.
03 - Add the beef little smokies and chopped bacon to the sauce, folding gently until all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Transfer the coated smokies and bacon into a slow cooker; cover and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Alternatively, simmer in a large pot over medium heat, then reduce to low and cover, cooking for about 45 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
05 - Give the smokies a final stir to redistribute the glaze and serve immediately, garnished as desired.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - For a thicker glaze, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to reduce moisture.
02 - Slow crockpot cooking enhances flavor depth but stovetop method is quicker.
03 - Chilling leftovers before sealing prevents condensation, preserving flavor.
