The basic "bacon weave" (Death by Bacon!) we reported on in Jan '09 quickly gave birth to other more creative bacon productions such as the The Bacon Explosion!, the bacon AK-47 (Another twist on bacon) and even a Bacon Blowtorch!. The latest iteration of pork belly goodness is the Bacon Cheese Turtle Burger, a delightful treat guaranteed to entertain both kids and drunk adults alike this holiday weekend. Assemble as depicted and grill on indirect heat at 400F for 30-40 mins. Happy Independence Day!
If you found yourself a little frustrated after building your bacon AK-47 only to find out it didn't shoot anything, here's a project that will give you a little more hands-on swiney satisfaction.
In our continuing coverage of man's favorite meat, I bring you the B-AK-47, a 1:1 scale model of a real AK made from bacon and wire. You can read about it here!
I found another damn-the-cholesterol recipe the other day that should more than make up for the rather disappointing Death by Bacon!one posted earlier. The problem with the original DBB was the lack of substance beneath the surface; in spite of the various add-ins we tried like caramelized onions and scrambled eggs, it ended up being just a huge pile of hype, imho.
This one looks to be a winner. While the "Bacon Explosion" begins life in the same manner with neatly woven strips of bacon - it finishes with aplomb, as evidenced by the raw ingredients photo below and the fact that it's slow-cooked in a smoker at 225° instead of in an oven. This is sure to be a hit at my next brew session, and will probably be banned by Pelosi once word gets out!
I came across an awesome, arteries-be-damned recipe over at foodproof.com that I thought I'd share. Pretty simple to make and really, can you think of a more manly meal?
