A common question received is "what low carb snack can I bring to the party/cookout, I mean other than a veggie tray?" Well this is an easy to make snack that should satisfy low carb dieters and non-dieters alike.
INGREDIENTS
1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds
1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon. You can either secure the bacon with a toothpick or lay the wiener face down on top of the bacon seam.
Place on a large, greased baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes in the preheated oven (you can also try baking at 325 for 20 minutes and then 350 for the last 10 minutes). If you want to get the bacon extra crispy, you can put them under the broiler for a few minutes but be careful not to burn the toothpicks.
VARIATIONS
For a spicy treat, you can pickle the raw bacon in jalapeño brine (left over from a jar of peppers) before wrapping the wieners. For a sweet treat you can soak the raw bacon in some DaVinci sugar free syrup (carmel or butter rum flavor), or try sprinkling some Splenda brand brown sugar over them before placing them in the oven.
That will do it for me.
ReplyDeleteOh, YUM! I might add a slice of jalapeno pepper to the wrap.
