Made a bacon explosion today (PICS)

Sign in to disble this ad
That pic of the bacon explosion someone posted here a while back has been driving me nuts...I've been pretty good on my diet lately, so I decided to give it a go. I thought the good people of TB might be interested.

Start with a bacon weave seasoned with homemade rub



Then add some homemade spicy-maple pork sausage



Top with some caramelized onions and jalapeņos



Add some Butterkäse cheese



Then top with some crispy bacon and homemade BBQ sauce



Roll it up into a meat football



After 3 hours in the smoker



I'm still recovering from the meat sweats

Every year a bunch of friends get together and have a bacon party. Always features a bacon explosion or two, and the rest are bacon recipe fare... this year my Wife made bacon apple pie. Bacon in the filling with the apples, and a bacon weave on top to replace the top crust. That too was amazing.

But I gotta admit, your bacon explosion looks great, well done. I only fear it a bit small. Must add a couple more layers...lol!

Thanks! This was my first one...I think it turned out really well, but I think my next one will have some more chilies in it.

My knives are Shuns...awesome blades.

Hover: I expect an invitation to your next bacon party. That pie looks amazing!

Good choice on the cheese.

And I too would like to attend the bacon party.

I suggest regional BBB (bass, bacon & brews) get togethers to augment the traditional bass get togethers. I can only imagine some of the devilry some of you could come up with. I can see it now. Soe lively conversation, some cool gear and jamming, then some supreme nosh, then some mass-napping. hahaha.

I gotta ask, is there a bacon beer? (runs to google) I know there's Bakon vodka.

edit: HOLY CRAP THERE IS!

I'm going to try to create a vegetarian version of that.





Will let you know how it turns out. Might even make it vegan, just for fun!

There's a whole bunch of different fakin bacons on the market. One of them I had was like the real thing (don't think it was morningstar farms). I'd have to find it again.

I think even the fakin explosion could kill someone. You guys eatin this stuff are brave. Although the dead dr. atkins would argue.

I'm reminded of the guy who got inspired by things like the bacon explosion and made a 'meat pig' out of several different kinds of pork: purchased sausage, home gound sausage, bacon, ham, and who knows what else - all formed into a roughly pig shaped unit that he smoked for long enough that it developed a decent bark.

I remember the slices through the middle ended up looking strangely accurate like slices through the middle of a real animal.

In my experience, a Vegan Explosion is what happens when the one sitting next to you in the cafeteria finds out the cheese you are eating is actually...cheese.

It just won't be the same. However, I admire your version.
