Today, I came across something that I absolutely must try, being a fan of bacon, sausage, and all meats porcine. It’s called the Bacon Explosion, which requires the following ingredients:
2 pounds thick cut bacon
2 pounds Italian sausage
1 jar of your favorite barbeque sauce
1 jar of your favorite barbeque rub
You weave half the bacon into a kind of lattice, season with some rub, pat the sausage into a pattie the size of the latticework of bacon, top that with the rest of the bacon, cooked up and crumbled; then, you put the bbq sauce on top of that. Finally, roll up the sausage, roll again with the bacon “netting” on the outside. Then smoke it over hickory smoke. Slice, and serve.
Much more precise details, and mouth-watering photos, are here. It is a great thing that this dish was created in Roeland Park, KS. And it certainly hasn’t hurt the BBQ Addicts that the Mainstream Media has picked up the Bacon Explosion story. The New York Times has the story here1. But check out the BBQ Addicts site for the nitty gritty details. If my humble prose has generated even a temptation to salivate, check out the pictures.
I’ll fall asleep dreaming about this tonight.

You ain’t seen nothing yet…
Be still, my heart. If I ate enough of either of these things, I’m sure it would be. But what a way to go..
