Bourbon Smokies Recipe

A fun twist on the classic party favorite, these mini sausages wrapped in flaky dough are made even better with a bourbon glaze. They’re easy to grab, deliciously smoky-sweet, and perfect for dipping in mustard or BBQ sauce.

YIELD: 6 SERVINGS | ACTIVE TIME: 25 MINUTES | TOTAL TIME: 40 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 lb Hillshire Farms Lit'l Smokies Sausages
• 2 (8 oz) cans of Pillsbury Crescents dough

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375®¨F. Place the bourbon, barbecue sauce, water, and sausages in a saucepan and warm over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are glazed and the liquid has reduced by half.

2. Strain the sausages, reserving the liquid as a dipping sauce. Place the sausages on a baking sheet and let them cool completely.

3. Separate the dough into triangles. Cut each triangle evenly into three strips.

4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap each sausage in a strip of dough and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the wrapped sausages in the oven and bake until the dough is cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes. 5. Serve the bourbon smokies alongside the dipping sauce.
