Sausages wrapped in bacon are a delicious fatty treat, especially paired with a naturally sweet side of roasted fruits: pick whatever berries you like to give the recipe your own unique spin.
This is quick crowd-pleaser perfect for holidays if you have guests over for brunch or just want a hearty meal without a lot of fuss. You only have to get one pan dirty, and you can easily make as much or as little as you need – make a huge pile if you’re cooking for a crowd, or scale it down for just one or two?
In the spirit of trying out wild game, this is also delicious with any kind of sausage – sure, you could go with pork, but why not try venison sausage or another game meat for a change? Wrapping the sausages in bacon tones down the flavor and adds some extra fat in case the game meat is very lean, so it’s a nice way to ease into wild game if you’re intimidated by the taste. Why not try it and see how you like it?
