• In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water to make a smooth paste.
• Remove the sausages from the sauce with a slotted spoon and place into a serving dish. Pour the sauce into a saucepan.

BACON COCKTAIL WEENIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray 9x13 inch cake pan with non stick spray.
• (not neccessary but will definately help with clean up) Open package of bacon and cut entire slab into thirds.
• Wrap a third of a slice of bacon around each cocktail weenie and secure with toothpicks.
• Place each bacon wrapped weenie in cake pan, making sure to crowd them together.
• (You'll want to leave an empty space in one corner of pan for ease of basting.) Liberally cover weenies with brown sugar, leaving only the toothpicks exposed.
• Place weenies in hot oven.
• Every 10 minutes or so, baste weenies with sugar/bacon grease mixture and break up any lumps of sugar.
• Continue until sugar is completely melted and bacon is thoroughly cooked.
• When serving, be sure to drizzle sugar/bacon grease over weenies and on the platter.
• Some people like to swirl their weenies in the syrup before cramming them in their mouths.
• I've never really timed this recipe, but I'm going to guesstimate the time at@30-40 minutes.
• Servings also depend on the crowd you are feeding.
• My crew will argue that 15-20 weenies qualify as a serving!
