• 1.5 lbs. Ground Pork

  option for spicy
• 2 Jalapenos

  Optional

• 1/2 Red Pepper

  Chopped
• ½ cup Mushrooms

  Sliced
• ½ cup Cheddar Cheese

  Grated
• ¼ cup White Onion

  Chopped

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your grill to 300-350 degrees. You can cook it slower if needed, or
  crank it up to cook it faster. We found that at 350 degrees on indirect heat, it
  takes about 90 minutes to cook. I recommend 325 for two hours if you have the
  time.
• 2 Collect your ingredients, chop your vegetables, and grate your cheese. Set
  aside.
• 3 Cook 4-5 strips of bacon on a frying pan – chop, set aside. Cook more if you are
  going to make a garnish for a Caesar (Canada’s official drink).
• 4 Lay parchment paper on your counter, about a foot long. Lay strips of bacon
  horizontally on the sheet in a row. Fold every other piece back, then add a
  vertical strip to start the weave. Place the vertical strip where the flipped-up
  horizontal bacon was, then flip the horizontal bacon back down. Repeat from both
  ends. In the picture below on the left, take the vertical strip and put it where
  the flipped-up strips used to be. The picture on the right is weave complete.
• 5 Lay another piece of parchment paper down and spread ground pork on it.
• 6 Rub BBQ sauce on the bacon weave.
• 7 Flip the ground pork onto the weave and remove the parchment paper.
• 8 Add more BBQ sauce on the ground pork and make a row of vegetables and chopped
  bacon on one end of the ground pork. Sprinkle on cheese.
• 9 Now roll the ground pork and veggie mixture so it's about the length of the
  bacon weave.
• 10 Roll the ground pork, veggie, and cheese mixture in the bacon weave. Remember to
  tuck in the ends of the bacon about halfway.
• 11 Once wrapped, wrap single bacon slices around the end to help keep the insides
  from falling out. Slather all areas in BBQ sauce.
• 12 Next, create a tinfoil boat to put your Bacon Explosion in. Then put it on the
  grill on indirect heat. Check every 20-30 minutes and suction the grease from
  your tinfoil boat. Use a turkey baster.
• 13 After about 90 minutes. Remove Bacon Explosion from tin foil boats and place on
  direct heat. Be cautious of grease flare-ups. I added my chicken to the grill
  just before I transferred the Bacon Explosion to the direct heat.
• 14 Once the outside of the bacon weave is crispy, remove it and let rest for 8-10
  minutes. The internal temp should be approximately 165F. Slice in 1" thick
  pieces and serve.
