Ingredients
-
1 (14 ounce) package little smokie sausages
-
1 pound bacon slices, cut into thirds crosswise
-
1 ½ cups brown sugar, divided
-
½ (12 fluid ounce) can cola-flavored carbonated beverage
-
½ teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
-
1 dash hot pepper sauce, or to taste (Optional)
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
Wrap each little sausage with 1/3 slice of bacon, and secure them with toothpicks.
-
Place the appetizers on a large baking sheet and sprinkle with 3/4 cup of brown sugar.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the sugar is melted and bubbling, about 40 minutes; turn the appetizers after 20 minutes.
-
Remove the appetizers from the baking sheet with a slotted spoon, and place into a slow cooker. Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup of brown sugar and the five-spice powder over the smokies, and drizzle with the cola. If desired, add hot sauce to taste.
-
Set the cooker to High, and cook 4 hours. Serve warm.
Cook's Note
One package of smokies is good size for about 10 to 15 people. You might want to double recipe for larger groups.
