Bacon Jam 3rd Street Bites

Some recipes simply disappear from the serving platter—and that's exactly what inspired these Bacon Jam 3rd Street Bites.

Created as a Wisconsin 26 Gathering Favorite, this recipe combines savory Midwest Fresh Bacon Jam, our signature Wisconsin 26 Sweet & Smokey BBQ Sauce, Amber Craft Beer, and Grape Jelly into a rich, glossy glaze that perfectly coats tender meatballs and Little Smokies. The result is a sweet, smoky bite with just enough depth to keep everyone reaching for "just one more."

Whether you're hosting game day, a holiday open house, neighborhood gatherings, backyard cookouts, or celebrating with friends over craft beer, these bite-sized appetizers are effortless to prepare and guaranteed to disappear quickly.

The addition of Amber Craft Beer adds a subtle malt richness that complements the smoky bacon jam and barbecue sauce without overpowering the glaze, while the Grape Jelly provides the classic sweetness that creates the perfect slow-cooked finish.

At Wisconsin 26 Mercantile, we believe the best recipes are the ones that bring people together around the table. From family celebrations to Friday night gatherings, Bacon Jam 3rd Street Bites are made to be shared—and enjoyed.
