I am SO going to make one of these.

Bacon Explosion: The BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes (http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/)

I saw this about a month ago, and I swear I thought of the Krispy Kreme burger thread.

Good luck.

OH man. That with a BBQ'd meat loaf...game over man, game over.

It's even on the NY Times now:

The Bacon Explosion - Take Bacon. Add Sausage. Blog. - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/28/dining/28bacon.html?em)

Not a believer but I'm happy for you and anyone else who finds peace in your faith.

...and probably a couple dozen more comments from the "I have been saved" thread that could be dropped right in here without substantial alteration.

My heart hurts looking at that....

I just saw the NYT article and the website.

Man, that looks awesome. Ms.path -- not as impressed.

I wonder if the "thick cut" bacon is for a reason like it helps hold it together...or if it's just cause, you know, it's more bacon than regular cut bacon.

Looks good in theory, but I don't know, that's an awful lot of fatty meat. I love meat, but I'm not sure I would enjoy this.

Welp....I'm going to the store tomorrow anyway. I'll let you guys know how it is Super Bowl Sunday.

Definitely let us know. My guess is this is either great or awful.

This may be the first time I have ever gotten aroused over seeing food before.

Viewing this thread bumped my cholesterol 30 points!!

Dude, what a great idea. I'll join you in this venture for our SB party...

Only question is this: Can it be done, and taste good, without a smoker? I have a grill, a gas one, and an oven broiler.

Toss some wood chips on your grill and I imagine you would be good to go. Personally, I would go with mesquite over hickory...

Sounds like a plan.

Damn you guys are so lucky...

Why can't you join us in this quest for meaty awesomeness, Karl?

Apparently it's 5000 calories and 500 grams of fat.

Which probably just adds to the awesomeness. :D

I felt my arteries clogging, holy macrol!

Dude that shit will back you up for weeks!

Looks good. I wonder how easy it would be to lean it out some.. maybe use venison sausage and instead of the extra bacon, maybe onion/pepper mix or something.

Granted, still would love to try this as is.

What better, sausage or cheese?

In the first response, I said I had seen the bacon sausage thing before...I was just remembering the weave. THIS is what I saw, and cheese is definitely better.

http://www.ratemyeverything.net/post/15421/Rate_My_Cheese_Filled_Bacon_Roll.aspx

Oh.

Oh my.

Yeah, this beats the sausage in my book.

I don't even care about the ways you can read that last line. I may have to make this after hockey on Sunday.

Why is there a debate between sausage OR cheese?

Methinks the optimum solution would be sausage AND cheese.

Yeah I'm thinking I'm gonna throw some extra sharp cheddar in the middle with all the crunched up bacon.

And for the 5000 calories and 500g of fat, I'm not gonna eat the whole dang thing myself.



Maybe half.

Oh man, I thought this was a thread about Lily Allen... She's hot!

Dude. It is not possible to lean this bad boy out. Life is short. Possibly somewhat shorter after eating this.

Bought all the ingredients yesterday for this heart attack. It'll be going on the grill sometime Sunday afternoon. Someone warn the paramedics.

They should sell a grill with a defibrillator built onto the side.

CLEAR

although i looked and saw what this thread is about, everytime i see it the title makes me want to go on the attack

Keep the camera right next to the phone so we can see what it looks like before you call the ambulance!!

Got a way to improve this bad boy. As soon as it's done cooking, cover that sucker in breading and deep fry it!

This MUST be done. By somebody whose family history features lower cholesterol levels than mine.

Yeah, the thread title elicited the same reaction in me that "I have been saved" did:

Good for you, but please shut the fuck up.


As soon as I saw the meaty goodness inside, all hostility was replaced with a warmth in my heart (cue cardiac arrest joke)

Keep the camera right next to the phone so we can see what it looks like before you call the ambulance!!

Possibly the first smiling heart attack in the history of man.

BURP!

To elaborate, this was real good. I don't care for Italian sausage so we used a mild pork sausage. I forgot to put the cheese in as well. The cooking went OK considering I don't have a proper smoker. We made some can buttermilk biscuits, sliced the "loaf" and served it on the biscuits sprinkled with sharp cheddar cheese. This thing is great. The outside bacon gets all smoky and crispy just on the edges, and the sausage cooks up solid, with the bbq sauce and bacon layer inside breaking it up some. Just YUM.

Tasan, I'm delighted to hear you made this. Out of curiosity, can you tell us approximately how many bacon roll consumers perished?

Well, if anyone goes it'll be me. I had five slices. Five.

Next closest was my wife, who only had 3. I think my oldest son matched that.

Awesome!

I want to try this and also make a version with ground beef in place of the sausage.

CU Tiger, that is GENIUS!

I told my wife and she said this: "Make it with ground beef and the bacon, put cheese in it and serve it on hamburger buns. Instant BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger."

I love my wife!

So many recipes, so little time. I present, The Bacone. Bacon fried into an ice cream cone shape, then filled with eggs, hash browns, country gravy, and a biscuit on top.

On a separate note:

Hillybilly Hotdogs, where I bought and ate my 5 pound hamburger, has introduced the new "doublewide", a 10 pound hamburger:

http://www.supersizedmeals.com/food/images/articles/20071008-Hillbilly_Hotdogs_10_lb_Burger_18.JPG

It only has two pounds of pickles, 2 heads of lettuce, 2 tomatoes, 2 onions and 25 slices of cheese. For an extra few dollars, they'll make it a BACON doublewide, with 24 slices of bacon.

I think I can take it.

Do it do it!!

So I have to necro this thread in order to share with you all what I did this weekend...

A few friends from work and I got together for "BaconFest," what I hope will become an annual tradition. The rules were simple...everyone had to bring/prepare a bacon-related item, and everybody had to try at least one bite of everything.

We started with a bacon-cheese spread on crackers, followed shortly by bacondillas (my contribution...quesadillas made with bacon). The entrees were a bacon-explosion, and bacon-stuffed double cheeseburgers (topped with cheddar-bacon cheese). And then bacon-brownies for dessert.

All of the above items were good, but the bacon-explosion was the real crowd-pleaser. The guy that made it used a spicy italian sausage, and it really complemented the bacon quite well.

All in all a delicious way to spend a Saturday afternoon. First thing this morning I confirmed that everyone who attended was indeed still alive. We had the EMTs in speed-dial just in case. :D

Just thought I would share my bacon-explosion experience with you all. :)

I wanna have this....the "FattyMelt", but I'd put bacon on mine

I think Subway tried to kill me tonight...

Ok, I had something to do with it, I ordered a 12" BLT with double bacon which I believe would still be a ridiculous 12 strips, but they unleashed 24 strips total.

I think my heart stopped for a few seconds while eating it.

I'm making the bacon explosion this year. Instead of sausage, I'm going to use beef and make it more like a bacon cheeseburger roll type thing.

I'm making the bacon explosion this year. Instead of sausage, I'm going to use beef and make it more like a bacon cheeseburger roll type thing.

This is a good idea. I made it using the sausage recipe, and it was just too much pork. Other than the really cool step of making the bacon weave, it was just inedible (to me, at least. The cats loved it.)

I think it'd be perfect with beef instead.

My friend has taken to making a bacon explosion as part of every Super Bowl now, and he gets real excited about it, and announces it weeks early and stuff.

...I don't have the heart to tell him that I'd actually just prefer a plate full of bacon (it turns out sausage and cheese aren't bacon, and when put near bacon, they detract from the baconness)

Wow. Just, wow.

I'm surprised that it's "only" 540 calories. Then again it has 1380 mg of sodium.

I'm on a diet so I'll stick with the Grilled Double Down .

It's unhealthy, but it's not as bad as it looks. The bread was probably the unhealthiest element of a regular sandwich. I mean there is a lot of saturated fat in it, but really no sugar to speak of and a ton of protein. In fact, you could argue that the grilled one isn't a bad meal if you are working out before.

This should be a hit with the low-carb diet crowd :p

That's a week from now, I'm down... anyone else?

I bet this'll taste awesome dunking it in some ranch dressing though. Heh :p

Bacon and Star Wars

So who's had the double down sandwich?

So who's had the double down sandwich?


Had one yesterday. If you like original recipe KFC, you'll like the sandwich, if not, probably not so much. There are two large pieces of chicken, a little bacon and a little cheese - the chicken flavor dominates.

It would probably be better either made on your own, or at a small place where they're not rushing and take the time to put it together well...really layer on the cheese, sauce, bacon, etc.

Bacon Cheese Turtle Burger

Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in a bacon weave.

The next step, add hotdogs as the heads, legs and tail.


Next - Place on an oven rack, covered loosely with foil and baked for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees. A little crispy, not too crunchy...just how a turtle should be, no?

Gross. Do people actually eat this shit, or do they just enjoy making it to shock people?

seems to me like a great way to ruin good bacon! Though artistically I am amused and entertained, as long as its someone else wasting their bacon and not me.

Google for Images of Roti de Veau Orloff and you'll se that this is a classic french cuisine dish.

hideous.

They lost me on sausage and eggs.

WTF...that's awful.

It looks worse than it sounds, too.

They lost me on sausage and eggs.

Especially when those look like hot dogs!

I was willing to accept the hot dogs as sausages as part of some sort of weird wording or cultural mistake.

I can see the appeal of a triple-decker pizza. Really, I can (I live in the deep-dish capital of the world), but the rest of it just seems a bit much.

I was digging the triple deck part. DK, at some point I'm going to have to make a trip back up that way to see you and Steve. No Silo this time, let's get some good pizza next time!

Lucky bastard.

The sandwich starts with a base of egg-soaked baguette French toast. Then there's some bacon and several street vendor hot dogs -- buns included. Of course it wouldn't be French Canadian without poutine: French fries slathered in gravy and melted cheese. Oh, and don't forget the maple syrup

Syrup-soaked poutine sandwich French for heart attack (http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Syrup+soaked+poutine+sandwich+French+heart+attack/3777620/story.html)

I feel like a pansy for thinking that they need to add some lettuce and/or tomato just to vary the flavor.

I don't understand why the Angry French Canadian has "regular" bacon instead of Canadian bacon?

They should have thrown some SPAM on that shit.

Maybe its angry for being forced to use elitist american bacon.

Had the Double Bypass at Vortex Bar and Grill in Atlanta last night.

1 pound of burger
2 fried eggs
6 slices of american cheese
8 slices of bacon
served between two grilled cheese sandwiches

It was a good burger...almost to much. But there was enough variation in it all to keep me eating.

Oh, and I had a side of cheese tots with it...

I'd love to tackle one of those eating challenge burgers, but I'm semi-lactose intolerant, so I'd need a waiver to substitute like a bacon slice for each slice of cheese.

epic meat log

Bonus points for the hottie.

Double points for the napkin consumption.

A buddy of mine turned 30 a couple weeks ago and decided to have a bacon party. Unfortunately, due to some brutal weather on the night of the party, nearly half of the people who were supposed to make it couldn't, so we missed out on some dishes, but the one's that were there were awesome.

There ended up being:

- Candied bacon (I was meh on this but most loved it)
- Bacon wrapped perogies (awesome during dinner and even better as a cold breakfast the next morning)
- Bacon wrapped sausage and cheese (my first attempt at doing a bacon weave dish and I was pleasantly surprised, going to try it with chicken next time). Was a bit too heavy for some, but seemed like those that liked it pretty much loved it.
- Half Bagel Melts with bacon, cheese, ranch and tomato

I had to test out the bacon weave a few times prior to the party to find out the proper way to cook it, but in the end, was very happy with how it turned out. Does have me tempted to try the full blown bacon explosion at some point.

EpicMealTime strikes again.

Lasagna prepared with 15 Big Macs, 15 Bacinators, and 15 A&W burgers. Oh, and some onion rings, Big Mac sauce, and gallons of spaghetti and meat sauce. Oy.
