bacon....

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

Had my first taste of a Cheese man Bacon Explosion tonight.

Meeh.....

It was alright.

that is just blatant disrespect It is an acguired taste..and I did not even get any this year b/c it went so fast. I wish they could have been made fresh that evening rather then reheating them, but they seemed to be a hit...ran out before everyone in line for them got a piece. :dunno:

Next year I will be first in line for the bacon explosions... not going to miss out again.

I loved every savory bite!!

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

I did not even get a bite of either of them this year. I am craving one right now after looking back at the pics in post 147 and 161. I might just have to make some this weekend so the house smells like bacon goodness for wifeys little party she is throwing on Sunday for the new "Spring purse line" A buch of snobby gals will really like the smell of bacon......

i say we have a Bacon Explosion cook-off at next years Winterfest! kinda like a chili cook-off but with bacon. Everyone can bring their showcase version of the Bacon Explosion!

 

[FlexdXJ]

I enjoyed the bacon explosion.

Hey, I'll be making one tonight I think. I get how you put it together, but didn't see any baking instructions. Also all ingredients raw prior to baking or could you pre-fry the bits you put inside?

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

yes, precook the bits inside. Cook until an internal temp of at least 160 degrees.

 

[97XJ2]

K, or roughly how long did that take so I have a ball park? I grabbed a package of mild Italian sausage to use maybe.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

start checking it about 2 hours in when using an oven at approx 250-300 degrees. If running it at 300 the whole time, check it around 1.5 hours but it will probably need to go to 2 hours or more. Use a meat thermometer and make sure it is at least 160 degrees internal temp.

 

[97XJ2]

Yup, got that part under control, just looking for a ballpark figure.

I missed it!! WTF!!

I don't know why but, I've never been a sausage fan. If it was just simple ground pork, I think I'd like it much better.

It was good, the sausage just really turns me off to it. I do love bacon though.

I just had several pieces of maple smoked bacon for breakfast.
Now the house will smell like heaven the rest of the day!

For the last one I made I used country sausage instead of itialian sausage. I cooked it in a deep pan, must have used extra fatty bacon because it filled up about half way with artery clogging liquids. Used a turkey baster to drool it over the bacon explosion every now and then.

 

[XJ&CHZ4ME]

good point Trav, I probably should have mentioned that part. I use regular cookie sheets with the 1/2" lip around them and they fill up fast with the seepage/goo and grease. I hve to empty it out at least once when I make them. When I made the pair for WF it was half a big mixing bowls worth of goo that came off them.

Re: bacon....and help!

I have an 85 xj (automatic 2.6L) with 'selec-trac 4wheel drive', originally it had an np-229 (which I found out is the worst T-case jeep makes). I heard I can use other transfer cases in my jeep (like the 207), does anyone know which ones will fit, and what I would need to change to accomodate a new T-case (like drivelines, etc)? Thank you... And bacon is great!

Making another bacon explosion to serve as breakfast this week. Using the mild country sausage, and going easy on the rub and BBQ sauce.

Anyone ever put eggs in one?

Saw a recipe online for a diet bacon explosion made with turkey bacon and turkey sausage. All the turkey bacon I've ever seen is paper thin. Don't think I'll be trying to make one anytime soon.
