6. 6. If desired, lightly sprinkle the black pepper and garlic powder over the top.
7. 7. Bake the Bacon-Wrapped Little Smokies in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sausages are heated through.

Notes
To achieve crispy bacon, bake the wrapped sausages on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to suit your taste preferences.
Wrap the bacon tightly around the sausages to prevent curling.
Serve on a platter with toothpicks or small forks for easy handling.
