A friend sent this recipe to me and I decided to try it. This is not for the faint of heart as you will soon see.

The ingredients:
2 lbs. thick cut bacon
2 lbs. ground intalian sausage
1 onion
BBQ sauce
BBQ seasonings

Step 1:
Create a lattice of bacon. Mine ended up a 7x7 square of bacon slices. Make this as tight as possible. Add seasoning


Step 2:
Cook remaining bacon and onions



Step 3:
Press ground italian sausage almost to the edges of the bacon sqaure.


Step 4:
Place cooked bacon and onions from step 2 inside and roll up and add BBQ sause. Roll sausage first and then roll the bacon, ensuring the roll is as tight as possible and sealed on the ends.

Step 5:
Season on the outside of the roll and place on the smoker with the bacon seam on the bottom to ensure a good seal.


Step 6:
Smoke at 250 degrees for about 3 hours or until the inside temp is 160. I use a Weber Performer, and was able to maintain a temp between 250 and 275 with constant smoke. It was about 165 inside when I pulled it off according to my digital fork.




Step 7:
Cut, add more BBQ sauce if desired and enjoy!!

 

lol.. I read about something like that on yahoo..

but seriously.. why? why would you do that to yourself?

 

I know, I know...this thing probably took a few weeks off my life, but I just couldn't resist. IF I ever do this again, I think I would try Jimmy dean sausage or something similar instead of the italian.

I was actually thinking after completing this monster that the bacon lattice layer would be really good wrapped around a beef tenderloin and then smoked or baked.

 

Why? Because it tastes good! And you only live once.

Besides, in moderation, how bad could it be? You don't need to eat it all at once!

 

That's a heart attack waiting to happen.

Looks great though, 2 of my favorite things: bacon & BBQ sauce!

 

I love bacon! Reminds me of that commerical with the dog saying" I love bacon!" Haha

 

mmmmmmm......bacon........

That looks good!

 

This looks delicious. I need to try this when it isnt 10 degrees outside.

 

Man that thing gets two thumbs up...
Perfect for a group or party.
In my younger days I ate packs of bacon at a time...
No need to die unhappy.
