Ingredients
  

  • 1 package of bacon
  • 1 good sized sausage or one pack of ground sausage
  • 1 cup Cheese of your choice

Instructions
 

  • Remove the sausage from the casing and brown it in a small pan.
    Crispy bacon strips arranged on a baking sheet for cooking, perfect for breakfast recipes and hearty meals.
  • While the sausage is browning, start working on your blanket-o-bacon. I like a 7 x 7 lattice. The tighter it is woven, the better.

  • Place your filling in the bacon blanket. Be careful not to overfill the blanket; you won't get a good roll but you will get a HUGE mess. I marked off the fill area for my helper with toothpicks (remove these before rolling).

  • Here is where it gets tricky...roll the log as tightly as you can and seal the ends with toothpicks. I use a wide spatula to get started, then use my hands after that.

  • Place it on a rack over a cookie sheet, and bake in a 400-degree oven for 25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. I went with the oven over the grill because 1) you don't have to turn it in the oven and 2) I didn't feel like using the grill tonight. Make sure that you put your log on some sort of cookie sheet that has raised sides. The last thing you want is to burn your kitchen down with bacon grease...and this CAN happen!

  • When the bacon is crispy, remove it from the oven and let stand for a couple of minutes...just long enough for the cheese to stop being runny.

  • Slice into pinwheels, get your napkins, and enjoy!
