We have an obsession with Bacon, I must admit. But who would have thought that simply weaving bacon together like a basket, covering it in cheese, and rolling it up into a cannister looking thing, would be the thing that finally made me so "I don't know if I can eat this." Although, I quickly followed that statement with "I'd like to try and see if I can eat this." To which my asshole quickly followed that statement with "I'm telling you right now, we won't be able to laugh about this later."
Please enjoy these 7 steps to bliss.
I feel like the person who looked at a weave of bacon and said "you know, this could be covered in cheese," probably felt similar to how Dr. Jonas Salk felt when he discovered a vaccine for Polio. Although, one probably got laid that night, whereas the other was alone. I'll let you decide which.
Look at this. You can eat it, you can hold it in your hand, it's elegant, it can be an entree, it can be an appetizer. This is really a 5 tool bacon. It's the 2005 Carlos Beltrans of bacon.
How can this not be good? I just recently saw on utube, where they dip bacon in batter and deep fry it. That could be overkill. Although there is nothing like a little brown sugar, sprinkled on bacon and baked in the oven until nice and crisp. I luve you bacon. So much bacon, so little time.
That's the coolest thing I have ever seen! What a fabulous idea for presentation. What a yummer of a Superbowl Party that is going to make! I'm thinking a cream-cheese infused with chopped jalapeno, and shredded cheddar might be a good filling, too.
You have opened discussion for some extremely creative variations! Thanks so much for sharing that with us.

Agreed. Why doesn't someone do that? An American Sushi restaurant. It would be amazing. A bacon egg and cheese roll, a cheeseburger roll, a philly cheese steak roll. Mmmm... I think I'm going to go start an artery clogging restaurant now.
As much as the American College of Cardiac Surgeons thanks the progenitor of this post so do I - this is so beautiful I could cry...if I wasn't busy weaving bacon...
OK, I actually made this. It's pretty damn good but kinda boring after a few bites which is all you really need, believe me! I liked the woven bacon concept tho so I made my own creation.
I filled the bottom of a pie pan with biscuit dough, cooked that 'till almost done, then spooned in scrambled eggs with German fried potatoes with rosemary and onions and cheese, then topped it with a partially cooked (and drained!) bacon weave. Back into the oven until the bacon was done and the cheese melted. Let it cool a few minutes then slice and top with salsa.
Thank you for this, you have shown me that god really does exist. One thing is for sure I never thought he would take the form of a gooey cheese-covered bacon lattus. Also whomever decided to name that burger at Wendy's the "Baconator" was clearly a fool, this is the true Baconator!
I just made this. incredible. I used a thicker cut of bacon it made the weave perfect. It did take a bit longer in the oven, but 100% worth it. My advice don't question this. JUST MAKE IT!!
I like to add spicy chorizo and jalapenos! Recommended beverage to wash it all down is a tall glass of cold PBR, makes me hungry just thinking about it. All the calories you need for about a month...or two!
Ok, this is potentially gross, but I agree it could be way worse. The comment about deep frying is totally true, there are many ways to make this way worse.
Cant wait to see if anyone posts alternative recipe's.

Oh come on, I can't believe it took this long for somebody to figure out, ya'll are amateurs, what youneed to do is after the cheese is melting, put the dutch oven over a medium heat, bring the fat up to a near boil, add milk and flour and make a gravy to pour over the top!!
what scares me about this more than anything... is the amount of people posting comments here, like the SuperBowlFatty above^^, that are actually EXCITED to TRY THIS!! WTF??
yaay fat/unhealthy burdens on our healthcare system! thanks for wasting my tax money with your FATNESS-related diseases! :p
Looking at the cross-section of the thing, that's what your arteries are going to look like after a few of these. Red outside, clogged with gunk on the inside. :P

This needs to be breaded afterward and then deep fried.

Stop, stop eating. Don't you know that this is not kosher? :)
December 19th, 2008 at 11:31 am
Add french fries after the cheese, continue the steps and then heat up a nice chili dipping sauce.
This just went gourmet.
December 20th, 2008 at 03:07 am
This truly will go down in history as a generation to generation family recipe!!
