Preparation
Preparing a bacon explosion "requires the minimum of culinary talent" and the ingredient list is short. It is made from 2 pounds (910 g) of thick cut bacon, 2 pounds (910 g) of Italian sausage, one jar of barbecue sauce, and one jar of barbecue rub/seasoning.
It is constructed by weaving the bacon together to serve as a base which is then seasoned, followed by the layering of sausage meat on top, with crumbled bacon sprinkled on top of the mass. Barbecue sauce is added, more barbecue seasoning is added, and it is rolled into a giant "sausage-shaped monster." It takes about an hour per inch of thickness to cook and is then basted with more barbecue sauce, sliced into rounds, and served.
A prepared bacon explosion contains at least 5,000 calories (21,000 kJ) and 500 grams of fat, though a smaller 8-ounce portion contains 878 calories and 60 grams of fat.

Famous quotes containing the word preparation:
“With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“It’s sad but true that if you focus your attention on housework and meal preparation and diapers, raising children does start to look like drudgery pretty quickly. On the other hand, if you see yourself as nothing less than your child’s nurturer, role model, teacher, spiritual guide, and mentor, your days take on a very different cast.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“Living each day as a preparation for the next is an exciting way to live. Looking forward to something is much more fun than looking back at something—and much more constructive. If we can prepare ourselves so that we never have to think, “Oh, if I had only known, if I had only been ready,” our lives can really be the great adventure we so passionately want them to be.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
