Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound sliced bacon
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) frozen fully cooked breakfast sausage links, thawed
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, divided

Directions

  1. Cut bacon strips widthwise in half; cut sausage links in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each piece of sausage. Place 1/2 cup brown sugar in a shallow bowl; roll sausages in sugar. Secure each with a toothpick. Place in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle wrapped sausages with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Bake until bacon is crisp, 35-40 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with remaining brown sugar.
