Ingredients

3/4 pound bacon strips
2 packages (8 ounces each) frozen fully cooked breakfast sausage links, thawed
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, divided

Directions

Cut bacon strips widthwise in half; cut sausage links in half. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around each sausage. Place 1/2 cup brown sugar in a shallow bowl; roll sausages in sugar. Secure each with a toothpick. Place in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat air fryer to 325°. Sprinkle wrapped sausages with 1 tablespoon brown sugar. In batches, arrange sausages in a single layer on a greased tray in air-fryer basket. Cook until bacon is crisp, 15-20 minutes, turning once. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
