Bacon explosion round two

We made a bacon explosion last year but Jamie is really experimenting this year (I like to think it's my influence) and he's added a bunch of ingredients. In addition to the 2+ pounds of sausage (half sweet fennel and half parsley cheese from faicco's) and bacon,






he's added sauteed onions, chopped garlic, and fresh mozzarella. He made a basket weave of the bacon, cooked about 10 strips until crispy, mixed and flattened the sausage on a sheet of wax paper and topping it w the onions, garlic, cheese, and crispy bacon.






He then rolled it up and wrapped it in the bacon weave.
We secured it with some toothpicks and covered it in a spice rub of brown sugar, chipotle pepper powder, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme, a little dried sage, chili powder, kosher salt, pepper, cumin, and a little turmeric.






(we have all these things - I you don't, brown sugar, cumin, and some sort of hot pepper powder is fine). Popped it in the oven at 265 and will slice and savor in a few hours during the super bowl!
