Super Bowl Bacon Explosion
So the Saints won. As a fan of the Saints, I am pleased. Today I am wearing my Aaron Brooks New Orleans Saints jersey.
Amy was in town, and to celebrate the Super Bowl, she crafted a bacon explosion.
For a photojournal of the creation, look below the fold:
First, a lattice of bacon was woven from 1/4" thick slices of hickory smoked bacon:
I used the food grinder attachment to grind up some pork for sausage. Anna got me some seasoning from Savory Spice Shop to flavor the fresh-made sausage:
While that magic was happening, the cast-iron griddle favored some fryin' bacon:
The sausage layer was then lovingly applied to the bacon lattice:
Some barbecue sauce and seasoning was added while the fried bacon was crumbled:

Time to roll:
The finished (mostly) roll:
Hickory smoked for three hours, which turned out to be a little bit long. It was cold outside, so the temperature gauge was difficult to read and trust:
Smoked anything is delicious:
Fin:
Delicious.
