Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut bacon into thirds and sausage links into thirds.
- Wrap each sausage link with a piece of bacon.
- Secure the bacon with a toothpick.

Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier texture, consider pre-cooking the bacon slightly before wrapping it around the sausage links. If you want to reduce the sweetness, substitute half of the brown sugar with a savory seasoning blend. You can also experiment with different types of sausage, such as spicy or smoked varieties, to enhance the flavor profile. This dish pairs nicely with sides like coleslaw or baked beans.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sausage bacon wraps as a delicious appetizer or party snack. They pair wonderfully with dipping sauces like barbecue or mustard. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread, complementing dishes like Ham And Cheddar Quiche.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sausage bacon wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes until heated through, ensuring they regain their crispiness. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but this may result in a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon?
Yes, turkey bacon can be used as a lower-fat alternative, but it may not crisp up as well as traditional bacon. Adjust the cooking time as needed to ensure the turkey bacon is cooked through and the sausage is heated thoroughly.
How do I know when the sausage is fully cooked?
Ensure the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 165°F for safe consumption. You can use a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a sausage link to check the temperature. The bacon should also be crispy and golden brown when done.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the sausage bacon wraps ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake. Just remember to add a few extra minutes to the baking time if they are coming straight from the fridge.
