Ingredients

  • 2 lbs thick cut bacon
  • 1 lb sausage hot or mild
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Make a bacon weave. Alternate pieces of bacon tightly through each other to make a lattice.
  • Spread the sausage out flat over the bacon weave.
  • Spread the cheese over the sausage.
  • Tightly roll up the whole thing with the bacon weave covering the outside. Tuck the ends in to prevent cheese from escaping out during cooking.
  • Mix the brown sugar, salt, and pepper together and then press into the exterior of the entire bacon weave. Skewer the roll a few times to "pin" it all together.
  • Smoke between 215°-235° in a smoker until the internal temperature of the roll reaches 160°. Approximately 3 hrs.
  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving and then DEVOUR this thing! It's delicious!
