I get asked about this a lot, so I'll repost it...

The ingredient list is simple.... 2 lbs of sausage, 2 lbs of thick cut (not market cut) bacon, BBQ seasoning, BBQ sauce, and a smoker!

Here's the link I received that made me try this recipe... http://www.bbqaddicts.com/blog/recipes/bacon-explosion/



Ok...got up this morning and started the Bacon Explosion recipe. First off, prep time is sorta lengthy, but it was kind of fun doing it. I used the Spicy Venison Sausage recipe I posted last night.

Step 1. The Bacon Weave...it's not as simple as it looks, but not terribly complicated, either...



Step 2. In an effort to keep costs down, I used ingredients I had onhand. Rather than a barbeque specific flavoring, I used "Bad Byron's Butt Rub"...

Step 3. The sausage layer. I found that trying to push the sausage layer out to the edges disturbed the bacon weave, so I took the sausage off and pressed it out on wax paper, then transferred it back to the bacon weave.

Step 4. I used Gwaltney's thick cut bacon...
