		Not Quite the Bacon Explosion you're thinking of.

		You're all familiar with the 'bacon explosion', and yes, it's wonderful. 
This is our variant.
 
Step one. 
Weave the traditional bacon mat, apply sausage. We used Jimmy Dean Sage and Jimmy Dean Hot. Worked good.  http://i.imgur.com/NCDCA.jpg
 
Step Two. 
Apply one pound shredded cheddar, a medium cheddar works well, sharp would possibly work.

(WARNING: THIS HYPNOTIZES THE DOG http://i.imgur.com/1H55j.jpg  )
 
Step Three. 
Cook a pound or so of bacon, cut or break or shred it into flinders.  
Apply flinders to the cheesy mat from Step Two. Recommend that you  
slightly undercook the bacon.

Step Four. 
Roll the bacon-sausage-cheese-bacon into a roll.

Step Five. 
Insult and degrade the poor performance of your bacon.

Step Six. 
Cook your bacon roll in the oven until it attains an internal  
temperature of 180 degrees Fahrenheit. This prevents death. Recommend a  
rack over a cake pan. A cookie tray is insufficient - this step  
generated almost 3/4 of an inch of grease for us!

NOTE: Please refrain from making jokes about 'vigorously thrusting  
your steely probe into the meat-hole' while temp checking your bacon.
 
Step Seven. 
Slice and serve. Recommend unobtrusive breads such as plain english  
muffins, sourdough, or white bread. Fried egg may be added for extra  
yum.

Given the additional cheese - we call it the 'Bacon Meltdown'. It was delicious.

		I'm not quite sure I'd want to eat that. I think it's the cheese and your so-called sausage....really it's just minced meat/ground chuck/etc. I think I attempted a cheese and baconless version  of what you've done once. I declared it edible but a waste of good meat.
 Although the outer bacon wrap is giving me ideas for the "ultimate" bacon and egg sandwich!

		Not exactly. Have you heard of a 'burger' KFC of .AU did that had the local healthy eating bodies in a pitchfork waving mood. lets just say this 'burger' had no bread at involved in its construction. It consisted of two KFC breast fillets with a slice or two of cheese, some bacon rashers & BBQ sauce in-between the fillets.I'm contemplating taking that bacon netting wrap  turn it into some shapes the area dimensional size of bread slices and place some either fried or scrambled eggs between two bacon squares.
 
 I'd do it today but the kitchen's in a bit of a mess. The stove's sitting out in the middle of the floor, contents of some kitchen cupboards -and the floor stacks- are randomly scattered around the house and a new Ikea cupboard bits are also semi-randomly scattered around the house.  At least I got to play demo guy with my Fubar - who knew that a solo benchtop under cupboard from the 50's could be so hard to remove! My dad did warn me that it'd be that way cos he moved some of them in the 60s.

		Huh, the breaded-chicken-wall sandwich sounds... intruiging. I tend to heat those premade chicken patties from the freezer section in a oaster anyway, and put a slice of cheese on them before eating them openface-style, so two together with a fried egg and some half-length bacon rashers ... Yum, must try.

		Wire, do you know my brother-in-law? Because he makes the exact same thing, when hanging out with his buds and grilling. He has made it with venison sausage and says it's pretty awesome. I'm a little afraid of it personally.

		This simply proves that Wire and I are, indeed, clone-brothers.  Because we've been discussing doing this exact same thing at Casa de Spud for a while; Wire just beat us to it.
 I now have to switch up the recipe.  I'm contemplating, with Turkey Day around the corner, making this with said bird.  Somehow.  Parity must be maintained, after all, and as Wire has already introduced me to The Best Fried Chicken EVAR (and the beans, oh my god those BEANS), I'm lagging behind in the culinary awesomeness department.

		Well, a few options came to mind, actually.
 Option 1: The Well-Dressed Fowl
 Weave a bacon mat.  Wrap Turkey in bacon.  Mold bacon to fit crevices.  Stuff turkey with MOAR BACON, plus ancillary Goodness.  Bake.
 
 Option 2: The Turkey Log
 Skin (very carefully!) and debone Turkey.  Beat on Turkey until it is thin and pliable.  Weave bacon mat; layer Turkey in bacon, alternating turkey/prosciutto/turkey until out of turkey.  Add stuffing in the middle.  Roll, then use carefully-saved turkey skin to wrap said roll.  Bake.
 
 Option 3: Turkeysplosion
 Weave a bacon mat.  Use it to contain assorted Yum, such as stuffing, sausage, other savory comestibles; pre-cook to ensure anti-Death, then insert into Turkey.  Bake.
