  • 3/4 lb. Italian sausage

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 315 degrees. In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, add the sausage. Break it up into larger chunks and continue cooking until it has cooked through and is no longer pink.
  2. Cut the bacon slices into thirds. Stuff the cooked sausage into the dates and wrap each date with a piece of sliced bacon. Use a toothpick to hold the bacon in place.
  3. Place the stuffed and bacon-wrapped dates on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes.
  4. The bacon should be crispy when the dates are done. Serve them warm
