So fat-laden, that it just has to be bad for you, this recipe was developed by two Kansas City BBQ enthusiasts. The dish has two main ingredients -- bacon and sausage -- and requires the minimum of culinary talent.
Bacon Explosion fan clubs have sprung up on Facebook, a video of one family attempting the recipe -- and accidentally setting it on fire -- has received 50,000 hits on YouTube, and a picture of the meal in all its glory has graced the New York Times. Day and Chronister, from Kansas City, compete in barbeque cook-offs as the Burnt Finger BBQ team and came up with the delicacy after being challenged on Twitter to create the ultimate bacon recipe. They christened it Bacon Explosion: The BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes. The Bacon Explosion contains 5,000 calories and a mind-boggling 500 grams of fat, prompting one pundit to offer: "They should make drive-through angioplasty; it would make this much easier." (serves 10 or more) Ingredients:
Preparation: The website actually gives you step-by-step pictorial instructions:
2. Preheat oven to 225 degrees or light a fire in an outdoor smoker. Place remaining bacon in a frying pan and cook until crisp. As it cooks, sprinkle bacon weave with 1 tablespoon barbecue rub. Evenly spread sausage on top of bacon lattice, pressing to outer edges. 3. Crumble fried bacon into bite-size pieces. Sprinkle on top of sausage. Drizzle with 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and sprinkle with another tablespoon barbecue rub. 4. Very carefully separate front edge of sausage layer from bacon weave and begin rolling sausage away from you. Bacon weave should stay where it was, flat. Press sausage roll to remove any air pockets and pinch together seams and ends. 5. Roll sausage toward you, this time with bacon weave, until it is completely wrapped. Turn it so seam faces down. Roll should be about 2 to 3 inches thick. Sprinkle with remaining barbecue rub. 6. Place roll on a baking sheet in oven or in smoker. Cook until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a meat thermometer, about 1 hour for each inch of thickness. When done, glaze roll with more sauce. To serve, slice into 1/4-to- 1/2-inch rounds. Serve with full syringe of adrenaline chlorate handy, in case of heart attack!
