The Bacon Explosion: Mother of all things bacon
Father Spoon from “Should I Drink That” recently sent me a link that I know you will enjoy. It’s about the ultimate bacon barbeque recipe called The Bacon Explosion.
Here is a quick run down on how this thing is created. The ingredients alone are staggering: 2 pounds thick cut bacon, 2 pounds Italian sausage, 1 jar of your favorite barbeque sauce, and 1 jar of your favorite barbeque rub. The construction of this beast reminds me of a Yule log. You start off with a woven mat of bacon and then you layer more bacon and sausage on top of it. Carefully roll it up into a log and wrap more bacon around it. Lastly, you drench it in BBQ sauce and cook for 2.5 hours on a grill. If you are feeling brave, follow the link above for more detailed directions.
Usually after I post a recipe I say something like, “I think I am going to make this”. Well this is one time where I think I am going to pass. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to eat a whole bacon log myself. I just think this recipe requires some extreme cooking skills that I don’t have.
A recipe I will try is one sent to be by the other half of “Should I Drink That”, Sick Puppy. He wrote to tell me about Bacon Rice Krispy Treats. Now, that’s a nice simple bacon recipe I can handle.
If you have had either of these recipes, let me know what you thought about them. I hope someone makes a video of them making The Bacon Explosion. If you or someone you know does, be sure to let me know about it.
that recipe would have been crazy on iron chef america. they just did battle bacon sunday night. all things delightful, but not as hard core as that recipe.
Times like that make me wish I had a better cable package. I bet if I hunt around online I can find the show.
They also need to have me on as a judge on a show like that.
holyy crap!!!! thats gotta be the most hart pounding caolrie nut thing ive ever seen in my life!!!! shit… i gotta have me one of those….. damn!!!!
If I lived closer I’d make one for you! (I’m in Canada) I don’t know how you can stand being deprived of partaking of such an amazing bacon meal. I’m sure if you ask around, some nice person with a smoker will make you one!
People, have pity on Mr. Bacon Pants! How can he proudly wear his title without having tried the Bacon Explosion!?!?
Chocolatesaa,
I agree! But I have a feeling that but the end of February I will have my hands on one of these. IOWA don’t let me down!
