Christmas day bacon bomb
 

My first Christmas day bacon bomb. 5lbs of meat in this bad boy. Cooked it in my UDS. I need a little more practice at weaving bacon, but you get the idea.
Merry Christmas everybody. :celebrate:

What is the recipe for this Bacon Bomb? Sounds like something I need to experience!

Try this one out. I made it and it rocks!

Recipes for bacon bombs (also called fatties) are only limited by your imagination.

Any ground meat/sausage flattened out into a square.

Top with any combination of fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, and/or sauces.

Roll or fold into a log shaped hunk of awesomeness, making sure that all toppings have now become fillings. You want a completely sealed log.

If you wish, and I highly recommend, apply a dry rub of your choice liberally to the outside of the log.

On a piece of wax/butcher paper, weave together a bacon sheet to serve as your wrap.

Place log on the center of the bacon weave and, with the assistance of the wax paper, wrap firmly, using toothpicks to hold any loose bacon ends to the log. Some people suggest trimming the excess off, but these loose bacon flaps crisp up super nicely and serve as icing on the heart attack-inducing cake.

Again, using your dry rub, liberally apply it to the outside of the bacon weave.

Place on your preheated smoker, using woods that compliment whichever meats you've chosen (mine usually consist of 95% or more of pork, so I use a 3:1 Apple or cherry to hickory ratio).

Cook until recommended internal temp of whatever meat your log is made of. Most use pork, so without looking I believe it's 165, but verify first before taking my word for it and serving this up to your family.

My wife really likes sweet Italian sausage stuffed with pepperoni, pineapple, mozzarella, black olives, and pizza sauce rubbed in a brown sugar based rub.

I like spicy sausage stuffed with jalapenos, onions, and cheddar rubbed in the same sweet rub. The contrast of spicy with the sweetness from the rub and the fruit wood is amazing. Serve with a nice pale ale. With this one, though, be sure to buy nose plugs for the wife. Maybe yourself, too, if you find no pride in celebrating your own aromatic creations.
