Easy to make, you can whip up a batch the day before Thanksgiving, so you have less to do on the big day. They are so easy to make that you can get the kids to help you. Just remember to make enough; they are going to be popular!
I was recently asked a dinner party, and the host requested I take an appetizer with me. The trouble is, while I was free for dinner, I had a very busy day planned, and knew I wouldn’t have enough time to make the requested appetizer. I was tempted to buy something, but then I remembered this Thanksgiving recipe.
I’ve seen it called a few different things including pigs in blankets and smokies. Whatever you call them, they are delicious. Great for kids and adults, they’re basically little sausages wrapped in bacon, and that’s a combination made in heaven.
The best part of this recipe is you can prepare it up to 24 hours beforehand, and then cook it when you are ready. So, I turned up at my friend’s house with my appetizer ready to go in the oven. And, as I expected, they were a big hit.
If you are looking for an easy to make appetizer you can prepare in advance, give bacon-wrapped mini sausages a try!
