Nonstick cooking spray

   1        16oz package small cooked smoked sausage links

 15        slices bacon, each cut crosswise into thirds

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Line a 15x10x1 inch baking pan with foil; lightly coat with cooking spray.  Set aside.
2. Wrap each sausage link with a bacon piece, overlapping the bacon piece at the end.  Press the end of the bacon piece to seal or secure it with a wooden toothpick.
