Bacon Explosion
Alright, I jumped on the bandwagon and bought into the hype ! Yes it’s as good as everyone says, and being on the Atkins Diet, it’s the perfect snack for me. Just in case you have been living under a rock for the past few days, check out BBQAddicts.com for the recipe. I smoked mine with Alder wood which gives a sweet flavor. And if you notice from the pictures, I made one a little spicier with the addition of some Jalapeno Peppers chopped and mixed in the sausage. I used a digital thermometer and it took about 2.5 hours in a 225 Degree F. smoker. The family loved it and I think it’s just as good cold, as warm. This morning we made our Sunday Omlettes and I took the sliced Bacon Explosion and warmed them in the pan, for a special breakfast treat.
Now for the experimenting !!! How about blue cheese in the middle? Or maybe replacing the sausage with some salmon? I guess the sky is the limit.
Here is to the bacon weave, a great way to encase anything in a heart stoppingly good blanket of goodness !

Kevin has really gotten on the explosion band wagon and changed this recipe up. He has been experimenting with different flavors and toppings and has a few new favorites. At this point in time I think his new favorite is the bacon explosion filled with bleu cheese. Another big hit was that he replaced the sausage in the center with kielbasa…did I spell that right. Of course he is alway changed the barbecue for hot sauce and habenero powder. Let us know what your favorite is.
