For you Bacon lovers!

Bacon Explosion! Started with a pack of thick cut bacon. This pack was maple flavored. Next I used a tube of Jimmy Dean spicy sausage. First you weave the bacon strips together to make a mat. Then you make a bed of sausage to go on the bacon mat. Pre-cook some pieces of bacon and crumble them on the bed of sausage. Roll the sausage toward one end, then roll the whole thing back. Some like putting this in a smoker but it takes a long time that way. I baked it in the oven slowly about 250 to get the sausage done then bumped it up to 300 to crisp the bacon more. Flip it occasionally to get it even.

Enjoy

This seems like a good place to post the Bacon Torch of Death!

Holy Heart-attack! That would be great with some white gravy and a biscuit.

Even considering project runway? Damn.

That is simply AWESOME! Never thought of doing something like that. Very cool! I'll take an order!

**nhcigarfan** · 12-18-2009, 01:42 PM

I might do that and put hardboiled eggs in the middle.

I wonder if I could make a full sized bacon blanket using that weave technique...

Bacon weave is also a great way to roast a venison backstrap!

**ndv21** · 12-18-2009, 02:52 PM

How long does it take to cook at each stage?

I love bacon wrapped venison...I wrap my venison roast with bacon, then broil it

Damn, eat enough of those and you'll have to let out your belt.

Careful when you are making it, but if you manage to cut yourself hope is not lost, just slap on one of these:

It might also hurt your wallet.

And for those of us who smoke in our vehicles there's a way to not have to be without bacon...

And when you're done you might want to take a nice long shower to clean up.

Holy pig fat man...I didn't know there was that many bacon products out there.

All this time, I thought I was supposed to eat the stuff.

The only problem would be connecting two strips end to end.

Looks good!
Is this safe to try at home? Without parental supervision?

I think I'll use Fillet Mignon instead of Jimmy Deans!

Alright, I knew there were some bacon lovers here

How long does it take to cook at each stage?

That was the first one I tried, so was still experimenting. I did it at 250 for about an hour, turning it halfway. Bacon just wasn't crisping up so that's when I bumped it to 300. I think it might have been about another half hour before it browned up nice. You might could just start at 300 to shorten the cooking time and just keep an eye on it.
