Sausages wrapped in bacon

A great favourite of ours and so simple to prepare and cook that ‘sausages wrapped in bacon’ often appear in our house as a breakfast, lunch, or supper time snack. Perfect too for family gatherings and parties, the grandchildren love them.

The recipe below is what I call ‘The Professional - sausages wrapped in bacon' and it comes courtesy of Nick Nairn at bbc food recipes. I think my way tastes as good and works perfectly for an extra quick prepare and bake … but whichever method you use (in fact you may already have your own) if you follow a LCHF lifestyle then make sure you start with a low carb sausage i.e. always check the carb content on the label, our favourite is the Sainsbury’s 97% pork chipolata.

Serves 1 - 2
Ingredients
5 rashers of streaky bacon
5 chipolata sausages
1 tbsp oil

Preparation and method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
2. Lay the bacon out on a chopping board. Place one sausage at the end of each rasher of bacon and roll the sausage up in the bacon.
3.Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan, add the bacon-wrapped sausages and fry for a few minutes until lightly browned all over.
4.Transfer to the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden-brown and completely cooked through.

To serve, place the sausages into a serving bowl with cocktail stick

Jan’s Way is:
1. As Above
2. As above - but also once sausage is wrapped, cut each sausage in half or third in order to make bite sized.
3. Place on very lightly oiled/greased  ovenproof plate/dish (important that it has upturned edge) and transfer to oven for 20 - 25 minutes turning half way through cooking. Make sure the sausage wraps are cooked through before allowing to cool slightly and serve ….. Delicious.

All the best Jan
