Look what I did
























































We had some time to play a bit today, so that is just what we did. The inspiration for this comes from the "Bacon Explosion" which can be seen at http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/. We did it a bit differently from they did though and wow, was it good!

Step 1: Weave a mat of made of bacon
Step 2: Flatten out a couple of pounds of Italian Sausage
Step 3: Add some cooked diced bacon and some monster sized deep fried cheddar sticks
Step 4: Add balsamic caramelized onions with toasted fennel seeds (the acid was a nice contrast to the fat
Step 5: Roll the sausage so that all the stuff you just laid on top is sealed inside.
Step 6a: Make the Bacon mat larger with some skillful weaving (thanks basketry merit badge!)
Step 6b: Mold the woven bacon around the sausage log
Step 7: Cover with BBQ sauce and bake at 275 degrees for about 1hr. 45 minutes
Step 8: Enjoy (hopefully with lots of other people)
