I love the sweet heat that this Bourbon Brown Sugar Glaze adds to bacon, not to mention the lovely, candied crunch that happens.

Brown Sugar Bourbon Bacon is a favorite flavor in my house! I use this glaze on:

  • BOURBON BACON HAM AND PINEAPPLE KABOBS
  • BOURBON CANDIED BACON WRAPPED JALAPENO POPPERS
  • BROWN SUGAR BOURBON BACON BITES

These bacon wrapped sausages are one of the easiest appetizers to make and they are just different enough that no one else will have had something quite like them. They are perfect for any game day, Super Bowl, make ahead tailgating, holiday, or party!

I especially like the way the spice in the andouille sausage compliments the glaze.

If you prefer a version without the extra spice, Polish sausage or traditional smoked sausage works great as well.

How to make Bourbon Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Sausages

Briefly microwave the mixture to make it into a brushable consistency.

Brush a layer onto the sausages before baking.

Add another layer of the glaze close to the end of the cooking time.

Cook until the bacon is bubbly and crispy.

These are great served straight from the oven, but are also tasty at room temperature.

Notes

For a less spicy sausage choice, Polish or regular smoked sausage may be used.
Use standard thickness bacon, not thick cut, so the bacon crisps.
For additional crispiness to the bacon, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end.
