Brown Sugar Beef Bacon Smokies (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 700 g beef little smokies sausages
02 - 120 g beef bacon, chopped

→ Sauce

03 - 200 g brown sugar
04 - 60 ml barbecue sauce
05 - 15 ml Dijon mustard
06 - 5 g garlic powder
07 - 2.5 g ground black pepper

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Chop the beef bacon into small pieces to ensure even cooking and integration with the sausages.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mix brown sugar, barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper until a thick, sticky glaze forms.
03 - Add beef little smokies and chopped beef bacon to the bowl, folding gently until all pieces are evenly coated with the sauce.
04 - Transfer the coated mixture into a slow cooker and cook covered on low heat for 4 to 6 hours; alternatively, simmer in a covered pot over medium-low heat for approximately 45 minutes until heated through and flavors meld.
05 - Stir the cooked mixture to redistribute the sauce evenly and serve warm directly from the slow cooker or transfer to a serving dish.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a thicker glaze, cook uncovered during the last 30 minutes to reduce moisture.
02 - Sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving for added color and freshness.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
