Step-by-step

• Preheat oven to 325
• Take sausages out of packages and rinse and dry them (they get kind of slimy in there)
• Take uncooked bacon and cut into thirds
• Wrap two sausages with one piece of the bacon and put on the baking dish (one with sides!), seam side down
• Continue until all sausages are wrapped and placed
• Take brown sugar and generously sprinkle it on each one. Some will fall onto the baking dish, it's no problem
• Bake at 325 for about 45 minutes - you want the bacon to be crisp and the brown sugar to be caramelized.
