Hi, Kristi in the Rada kitchen and today I want to share a recipe for Smokin’ Hot Smokies. This is a recipe out of our cookbook, Party Snacks to Share. This has sweet and sassy recipes, it has crunchy recipes, these we’re actually going to make in our slow cooker, so let’s get started.
Ingredients you need to make our Smokin’ Hot Smokies include a 14 oz package of co*cktail sausages, 14 to 15 bacon strips, a cup and a half of brown sugar, you’re going to divide that, a half a teaspoon of five-spice powder, three-quarter cup of cola, and hot sauce to taste.
So, you want to preheat your oven to 325 degrees, and you’ll need a 9 x 13 baking pan. I’m using the Rada stoneware Rectangular Baker; you don’t have to preseason those. If you have any other one, you’ll want to spray it with a nonstick cooking spray. Alright, so we’re going to take a couple slices of bacon, and then we’re going to cut it into three pieces crosswise. And then you’re going to take a co*cktail sausage and you’re going to wrap the bacon around and then put a toothpick through it. Sometimes you’re going to have to layer it to stick it all together. Then you place your Smokies in a 9 x 13 pan. And then what we’re going to do is sprinkle a ¾ cup of brown sugar over the top.
Now we’re going to bake these in the oven for about 40 minutes until the sugar gets melted and bubbly. After 40 minutes, you’re going to transfer your smoking hot Smokies to a Crock-Pot or a slow cooker you’ll want to spray it with nonstick cooking spray. And then to the slow cooker you’re going to add ¾ cup of brown sugar, and then ¾ cup of co*ke, just drizzle that over the top, a half a teaspoon of five-spice powder and then hot sauce to taste. Depending on how hot you want it, you control the heat. Cook this on high for four hours and then they’ll be ready to serve.
Smokin’ Hot Smokies, just one of the recipes to serve at your next Super Bowl get-together or a holiday. It’s a great appetizer and there’s a lot more in our Party Snacks to Share cookbook.
