Bacon Explosion...
I have wanted to make one of these for sometime, but never had the opportunity. Derby Day presented my with the correct quantity of carnivores to make this work. There were several that thought I was crazy and it couldn't be good. In the end... they too succumbed to its porky goodness. I received one marriage proposal in spite of the fact that I am married. So I give you 4 pounds of meat eaten by 8 people prior to dinner.
The weave
2 pounds Purnell's smedium hot breakfast sausage and rub
1 pound crispy Hormel Pepper Bacon
On the small...
Done...
I wasn't sure if it would be too much bacon, I know there can never be too much bacon, but it was delicious. I would say that the bacon choice could alter the salt content and a salty rub might make it a skoash salty. All in all... I am pretty sure this, or something similar will get a repeat performance.

Now all you need to do is add some cheese to the filling to make it even more unhealthy! I love a bacon explosion or a fattie, but can't make them near as much as I'd like to.

I am in awe of the bacon weave. I would wear a shirt made of that.
Bummer question, what is the price tag on that? How many pounds of bacon in the weave? -
I guess if I could do basic math and up my reading comprehension skills I would have seen that it is 1 pound of bacon.

Thanks for the comments... It was delicious!
I know a few folks were amazed at just how good it was. I definitely want to tweak the recipe. I went medium instead of hot for the milder pallets-- I thought that was a mistake at one point, but ended up they liked it and ate it too. I can certainly get down with a much hotter version.
Griff... I thought about cheese, but I am still on the fence about that. I really liked that the crispy bacon in the center stayed crispy. Others said the same thing. I am not sure what effect the cheese would have on that.
I plan to make more in the future...

The sausage and crispy bacon is rolled up first and then the bacon blanket is rolled around it. The seam side went down. Food service film is a plus! I rolled it, twisted the ends of the film, and put it in the fridge to firm just a bit before taking it to the egg. My wife said I rolled that I like I knew how!! Thats all I got to say about that.How did you close / seal the wrap? I have got to try one of those, but I will wait until the day after my next physical :-0

Egg Juju Fantastic job! If you want to try cheese without chancing ruining the taste you liked, you can always do half with cheese. I did one with cheese to an internal temp of 165, the bacon inside was still crispy and the cheese never got runny. I was more worried about all that bulk sausage grease making everything soggy. It was a little greasy, but never soggy. The cheese I used was sliced American.

Austin Egghead I started at 225 and about 2 hours into it I bumped it to 350 to crisp the bacon on the outside and basted it the last half hour. In the end I am not sure that helped much and I did think the drippings were close to grease fire potential so I won't be doing that again.
:-SBrownie Good to hear... I think cheese would be a nice addition. It didn't get greasy, which I think everyone expected.I will be making more...

I almost spit up my coffee on that one...too funny!!! -
The last one I did I added the cheese by stuffing with cheese stuffed dogs. Unhealthy as can be but interesting. I also threw some rub on the inside but it was overall too salty. Very rich, but good.

@chubbs You really covered your bases by adding hot dogs to the pork medley.
