These Bacon Wrapped Pickles offer the ideal balance of sweetness, crunch, and smoke. This recipe, which pairs the tangy kick of dill pickles with the savory goodness of bacon, is perfect for your smoker.
Ingredients: 1 jar dill pickles. 1 pound bacon. 1/2 cup brown sugar. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toothpicks.
Instructions: Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C. Drain and pat dry the dill pickles. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Wrap each pickle with a slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks. Roll the bacon-wrapped pickles in the sugar and spice mixture to coat evenly. Place the bacon-wrapped pickles on the smoker grates.
