For the Bacon Explosion:
- 500 g Bacon thinly cut
- 500 g coarse sausage or salsiccia without skin
- 100 g grated cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp BBQ rub of your choice
- 100 ml BBQ sauce smoky
Preparation:
Weave a bacon net: Lay out the bacon slices in a grid on a piece of aluminum foil.
Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the bacon net, leaving a border of approx. 2 cm.
Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture.
Sprinkle with BBQ rub and carefully shape into a roll, wrapping the bacon net around the outside of the filling.
Preparation:
Preheat the smoker to 110-120 °C.
Place the Bacon Explosion seam side down on the grill and cook indirectly.
Smoke for about 2.5 to 3 hours until a core temperature of approx. 70 °C is reached.
During the last half hour, brush regularly with the BBQ sauce and continue cooking uncovered until the glaze caramelizes and shines slightly.
After cooking, remove from the grill and leave to rest for approx. 10 minutes.
Then cut into even slices and serve hot.
Recommended side dishes:
Coleslaw (American coleslaw) - brings fresh acidity and crunch as a contrast to the hearty bacon and sausage filling.
BBQ baked beans - spicy, slightly sweet, ideally complement the smoky flavors of the main course.
Grilled corn on the cob with chilli butter - sweet, spicy and slightly caramelized, goes perfectly with the BBQ glaze.
