Ingredients
- 24 Lit’l Smokies
- 6 slices Bacon
- 3 tbsp. Keto BBQ Sauce (recipe here)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Start by chopping 6 slices of bacon into quarter-pieces. In total, you should have 24 quarter-slices of bacon. Place a little smokie on top of the slice of bacon.
- Roll the little smokie up in the bacon so that there is a small amount of overlap.
- Stick a toothpick into the overlapping piece and set on a cookie sheet covered with foil.
- Repeat the process for all of the smokies and place into the oven to bake for 25 minutes.
- Take the smokies out of the oven and use a basting brush to brush BBQ sauce on the little smokies. They should be coated quite well.
- Place back in the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Serve on a platter. Feel free to sprinkle some parmesan cheese and chopped spring onion over them.
