So, nachdem ich ja mein Experiment von gestern auf heute verschieben musste, weil das Wetter einfach nur gräuslig war, geht es heute frohen Mutes direkt ans Werk.
Wetter passt auch, also erstmal alles gut.
Im Grunde genommen, ist das Ganze relativ einfach, wenn man nicht unbedingt zwei linke Hände hat.
Wenn man einen Partner hat, gehen die schwierigen Parts nochmal einfacher von der Hand, wie…
For those of you who have seen us around at BBQ competitions, you will know that we like to cook on the Cobb portable cooking system. I love this recipe, adapted from, BBQ Makes Everything Better it is the perfect way to feed a crowd with little effort. Why not give the following recipe a try.
Cobb recipe - Bacon and Cheeseburger Explosion.
Ingredients
500g Mince Beef
Packet of streaky bacon - Dry cured and smoked
1 Tsp Garlic powder
1/2 Tsp freshly ground Black Pepper
Large pinch of salt
2 Tsp of Worcester Sauce
Grated American cheese such as Jack or a medium cheddar is fine.
BBQ Sauce for glaze
Directions
Create a bacon weave using the sliced streaky bacon.
The best way to do this is by laying out 5-7strips vertically and then laying another strip horizontally and weaving it. I use a chopping board with a piece of cling film just larger than the final weave.
I create the weave by folding up every other bacon strip (1, 3, 5) and laying another piece horizontally, fold back the bacon and lift up every other piece (2, 4) lay another strip and repeat until you have a square weave.
Season the beef with garlic powder, black pepper, salt and Worcester sauce. Mix by hand but avoid over working the beef.
Flatten the beef into a square just smaller than the bacon weave and place it on top.
Here you can be creative.
I have stuffed this with a mix of cooked onions, peppers and smoked sausage or you could simply add cheese, for a bacon cheeseburger fatty.
3 Hard boiled eggs can also be placed in a horizontal row across the middle.
The original Bacon Explosion uses Sausage meat instead of beef and is then filled with cooked crispy bacon. Great for Christmas dinner!!
Other variations could include turkey mince then stuffed with a sage and onion stuffing mix and served with cranberry sauce.
Once you have chosen your stuffing, the next step is to roll up the beef starting from one end and form a giant sausage shape.
Next, roll the bacon weave around the beef, making sure all the ends are tucked in.
Set up the Cobb for smoking, using either the smoker pot filled with soaked wood chips or a foil packet with holes poked in it, laid on top of the coals.
Use the roasting rack and smoke/cook for about 90 minutes.
I like to glaze with BBQ sauce and cook for a further 10-15 mins to add a sticky sweetness.
Slice into rounds and serve in buns or as a side dish to a roast dinner. Great for breakfast or lunch whilst camping!
Aaron Chronister and Jason Day invent a dish called “bacon explosion.” The recipe is available online, but it should only be attempted with the proper safety precautions.
