You might have tried our andouille raviolle or our Andouille sausage in the oven recipes! Let us know what you think!
Here’s What You’ll Need
- Thin sliced bacon
- Andouille sausage (the kind that is like a smoked sausage).
- maple syrup
- Mustard, Vinegar and Brown Sugar
- Salt and Pepper.
Here’s How You Do It
- Cut the sausage and wrap with bacon.
- Make a sauce on the stove top.
- Pour it over and bake!
Tips and Tricks
- Always line the bottom of the cookie sheet with alumninum foil or parchment paper. This makes a sticky mess and you won’t ever get that pan clean if you don’t. A silpat will work too!
- Use the type of sausage that is more firm and hot dog like in consistency not the type that is a fresh sausage inside a casing.
- Dark brown sugar has the best flavor for this recipe but you can use a light brown sugar if that is what you have.
- These tend to go fast at parties, you might want to make two batches, just saying, it’s my best advice.
- Everything you ever wanted to know about Andouille Sausage – right here.
PRO TIP: While thick bacon might sound tempting, you’ll get a crispier exterior if you go with a thinner (and frankly, cheaper) option.
Storage, Keeping and Reheating
You can keep these covered, in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
These freeze just fine, but are better fresh. You can freeze for up to 3 months in a freezer safe container.
To reheat, use a microwave safe dish and microwave in 20 second increments.
It’s fine to reheat in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes.

Easy Bacon Wrapped Andouille Bites
Ingredients
- 1 lb Andouille Sausage find in the lunch meat/hot dog section of the grocery cooler
- 1 lb thin sliced maple flavored bacon
- 1 ½ cups Dark Brown sugar packed
- 3 Tbs Stone Ground Mustard
- 3 Tbs Sherry Vinegar – or any type of wine vinegar
- ¼ C REAL Maple Syrup
- 2 tsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tsp black pepper
- Garnish – black cracked pepper parsley or chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil and top with baking rack that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray (the Aluminum foil and spray are a MUST – this is a messy recipe).
- Cut the Andouille sausage down the middle lengthwise. Then cut each half into 1 inch pieces. Cut the 1 lb of bacon into 3rds. Wrap one bacon around each piece of sausage and secure with a toothpick. Set these aside while you make the glaze.
- In a small saucepan, combine all the other ingredients (except the garnish). Heat over low heat and stir constantly until sugar is dissolved. Keep sauced warmed on stove top. Set aside ¼ cup of the glaze for the final glaze application.
- Brush each bacon wrapped sausage with the glaze and set on the baking sheet/rack. Bake for a total of 40 minutes, remove the pan from the oven every 15 minutes and baste with the glaze. On removing from the oven, use a spoon and drizzle a small amount of the glaze that you set aside onto each bacon wrapped sausage bite. (don’t use the basting brush you had already been using as it has probably touched the raw bacon you started out with and this application will not be going back in the oven). Serve immediately.
