Bacon Explosion Recipe

Ingredients:
3 lbs thick cut bacon
2 lbs hot Italian ground sausage
Your favorite sweet barbecue sauce
Your favorite dry rub/barbecue

1. Cook 1 lb of bacon and set aside to dry
2. Then, weave the remaining strips of uncooked bacon into a tight rectangular weave
3. Spread out your 2 lbs of ground sausage on top of the uncooked bacon (weave) so that it's flat
4. Rub 1-2 tablespoons of dry seasoning on top of the sausage
5. Spread barbecue sauce on top of the dry rub
6. Crumble bacon and evenly spread across the top
7. You may add more dry rub and barbecue seasoning on top, your choice
8. Carefully begin rolling the sausage, bacon and contents into a roll, be careful not to lose any of the ingredients, the bacon weave should remain on the outside and the sausage, cooked bacon and sauce/rub on the inside. Keep the roll as tight as possible. Pinch together the seams and ends to seal.
9. Rub outside with dry season and coat with barbecue sauce
10. Cook on a stone or a baking pan at 225 degrees until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. 3-4 hours. You can also place in a smoker.
11. Let the bacon explosion sit and cool before you slice. Slice 1 ½"-2" portions and place inside favorite rolls. Serve with additional barbecue sauce.
