Sometime ago my husband discovered the Bacon Explosion recipe. I believe he heard it from a co-worker, but I can't remember. Regardless, this recipe is true to its name - bacon explosion. The recipe can be found here on BBQ Addicts website.
It's the ULTIMATE tailgating recipe, so my fellow CEiMBer's beware.. this thing is not in Ellie's healthy cookbook.
I believe it clocks in around 5000 calories and 500 grams of fat, but I can't remember, nor choose to.
1. Start with thick cut bacon and weave:
4. While cooking the additional bacon (did I mention you need about 1.5 packages of bacon?), add a generous amount of pork rub:
5. Smile at your wife while you're cooking the extra bacon ;)
6. Chop up the cooked bacon:
7. Add the cooked bacon to the top of the seasoned sausage:
8. Add some of your favorite BBQ sauce, like Sweet Baby Rays:
9. Roll up the sausage into a log and wrap with the bacon weave:
10. Add more seasoning to the bacon explosion:
11. Cook in a smoker for 4 hours until 165 degrees:
12. Slice and serve (usually on a dinner roll):

Mmmmm, if that doesn't give you a heart attack, I don't know what will...!
If you love to smoke food, or love tailgating, or simply just love a lot of meat.. you need to make this.

Wow. I can see why your husband would like that, and, in fact I do believe everything is better with bacon... and Italian sausage. I really like the effect of the weaved bacon on the outside, but I am going to try to forget I ever saw this recipe :)
ReplyDeleteHa! Seriously.. it's an insane recipe.
ReplyDeleteoh man alyssa, that is just out of control. I am sending this to Nick immediately.
