What is Friendsgiving? Friendsgiving is when we gather up all of our friends around Thanksgiving and celebrate what we’re thankful for! Today we’re making a quick and easy Friendsgiving appetizer that your guests will love!
Whether you live in a college town like us, or you just choose to give thanks with friends, you don’t want to be tied up in the kitchen all day making food. So today we’re making a fun, easy appetizer recipe for our Friendsgiving celebrations!
We have a handful of friends attending college nearby and they’re unable to go home for the holiday break due to other commitments with school and work. This is why we’ve decided to throw a Friendsgiving get together and have our friends over to share laughs and stories while having delicious food, like a super easy, affordable and delicious Friendsgiving appetizer and drinks This is what Friendsgiving is all about!
Friendsgiving Appetizer Recipe
Gather your ingredients and let’s get started – Hillshire Farm® Lit’l Smokies® Smoked Sausages, Wright® Brand Bacon Hickory Smoked, brown sugar and BBQ sauce.
Count your Hillshire Farm® Lit’l Smokies® Smoked Sausages and then use 1/2 that amount for the number of pieces of Wright® Brand Bacon Hickory Smoked. For instance, if you’re making 10 appetizers, use 5 pieces of Wright® Brand Bacon Hickory Smoked. Cut each piece of Wright® Brand Bacon Hickory Smoked in half.
Take a cut strip of Wright® Brand Bacon Hickory Smoked and wrap it around a Hillshire Farm® Lit’l Smokies® Smoked Sausage, securing them together with a toothpick. Repeat for each one.
Roll or sprinkle each appetizer with brown sugar; a light coating will do.
Add a dab of BBQ Sauce on each one, around the toothpick. Place them on a tinfoil lined baking sheet.
Toss them in the preheated 375 degree F. oven for 30-35 minutes or until the Wright® Brand Bacon is done, crispy or just under crispy, that’s how I like mine! Now all you have to do it serve them up! You can serve them as is or with a little BBQ sauce for dipping – either way is fantastic!
