Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 lb bacon (thick cut is best)
2 lb pork sausage
bbq sauce (i used sweet baby rays. my favorite!)

Steps:

  • 1. Take 1 1/2 pounds of that sliced bacon, and proceed to make a "Bacon Weave" or "Bacon Lattice" of it, flat on the pan. Exactly you would a lattice pie crust.
  • 2. Smush (Technical term) that pork sausage evenly across the bacon weave (Helps to smush in your hands to get it even first)
  • 3. Once spread evenly. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on the sausage layer. Then, Cook the other 1/2 lb of bacon till crisp, crumble, and evenly distribute the bacon over the sausage layer.
  • 4. Roll this bad boy up! I find it easier to roll the sausage layer up first. And yes, it separates from the bacon easily. If you to that, Roll the sausage into a log, then pick it up and make sure the seam side is down. then proceed to roll the rest of the weave over the sausage.
  • 5. Give it a light basting with BBQ sauce. and put into a 350 degree oven for 1 hour (Every 15 mins you're gonna baste lightly with more bbq sauce) Until an internal temp of 165 is reached
  • 6. Allow to rest. Cut, serve, and enjoy this artery clogging marvel! :)

BACON EXPLOSION

This concoction and Internet sensation came to The Times from Jason Day and Aaron Chronister, who created it shortly before Christmas one year in Roeland Park, Kan. They modestly call it "the BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes." It contains at least 5,000 calories and 500 grams of fat, but you don't have to eat it all at once. It is not for vegetarians, ascetics or the faint of heart - instead, consider it a delicious challenge to your abilities at the grill.

Time 3h

Yield 10 or more servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds thick-cut sliced bacon
1 1/2 pounds Italian sausage, casings removed
3 tablespoons barbecue rub
3/4 cup barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Using 10 slices of bacon, weave a square lattice like that on top of a pie: first, place 5 bacon slices side by side on a large sheet of aluminum foil, parallel to one another, sides touching. Place another strip of bacon on one end, perpendicular to the other strips. Fold first, third and fifth bacon strips back over this new strip, then place another strip next to it, parallel to it. Unfold first, third and fifth strips; fold back second and fourth strips. Repeat with remaining bacon until all 10 strips are tightly woven.
  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees or light a fire in an outdoor smoker. Place remaining bacon in a frying pan and cook until crisp. As it cooks, sprinkle bacon weave with 1 tablespoon barbecue rub. Evenly spread sausage on top of bacon lattice, pressing to outer edges.
  • Crumble fried bacon into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle on top of sausage. Drizzle with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and sprinkle with another tablespoon barbecue rub.
  • Very carefully separate front edge of sausage layer from bacon weave and begin rolling sausage away from you. Bacon weave should stay where it was, flat. Press sausage roll to remove any air pockets and pinch together seams and ends.
  • Roll sausage toward you, this time with bacon weave, until it is completely wrapped. Turn it so seam faces down. Roll should be about 2 to 3 inches thick. Sprinkle with remaining barbecue rub.
  • Place roll on a baking sheet in oven or in smoker. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer, about 1 hour for each inch of thickness. When done, glaze roll with more sauce. To serve, slice into 1/4-to- 1/2-inch rounds.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the bacon explosion will be.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make a bacon explosion, so feel free to get creative with your ingredients and cooking methods.
  • Make sure the bacon is cooked through. Undercooked bacon can be dangerous, so make sure to cook it until it is crispy and brown.
  • Let the bacon explosion rest before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute and make the bacon explosion easier to slice.
  • Serve the bacon explosion with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

The bacon explosion is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give the bacon explosion a try.
