Pork-stuffed Bacon

bacon-1.jpg

A little yuletide recipe to share with you. There's not much that can be done to improve bacon, except maybe wrapping it around sausage meat and grilling it. Let us know if you test this one out.

On a related note, I received my first Christmas gift of the year, from my buddy CC Chapman, and it's - you better believe it - a six month subscription to the Bacon-Of-The-Month Club. That's right - each month, I'm going to be getting 1lb of artisanal bacon delivered to my door, and I plan to do video reviews of each and every one for YBNBY. So stay tuned for the first installment soon.

I hope you will also be recommending a wine and/or Kool-Ade flavor to go with each one.

Also, are all these bacons (is that a word?) from pigs, or do some of them come from "exotic" animals? (That whole "beef bacon" thing still gives me nightmares.)

But can you imagine the possibilities?

Alligator Bacon...
Warthog Bacon...

Hell let's round up the whole cast of the Lion King and see if we cant make bacon out of them!

I did something similar to this, having found the recipe after doing a websearch for "Bacon Explosion" (after a post on Neatorama, as I recall).
It calls for encasing a pound of pork sausage to be wrapped around cooked bacon pieces which have been smothered in barbecue sauce, then the log is wrapped in a woven "mat" of uncooked bacon. Then you can either cook on low heat in the oven, or grill indirectly.
After some adjustments (the outside bacon started to get too dark before the sausage was done), we pulled it out of the oven to taste the most heavenly smelling concoction I think I have ever smelled... and found it to be every bit as lovely to the palate.
A word of warning, however: Have friends to share it with. Two pounds of pork kind of makes you ill after a while, regardless of how good it tastes, and how much you want to devour it in one sitting.
