Man Log

During one of my many recipe searches online, I found this.
I think I read it three times before I realized it wasn't a joke!

I actually made this as a main dish, served with some mashed potato on the side.
Hubby and the girl went NUTS! (it is pretty delish!)

Hubby told me I needed to make this for a future party. Then he corrected himself and decided I was never to introduce this to our friends. He wants it to be his private secret to enjoy.

Selfish man! BUT...luckily he did not tell me that I needed to keep it off the blog!

When making the lattice, the tighter the better. I also built mine on a sheet of wax paper to make the rolling aspect easier.

See my notes in red below:

Ingredients:

1 Lb of bacon

1 roll of sausage I used Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage

Cheese of your choice I used about a cup of cheddar

Directions:

1. Breakup and brown sausage

2. Build bacon lattice (weave like a basket, approx 7 strips long by 7 strips wide)

3. Place filling in blanket, but do not overfill

4. Add cheese

5. Tightly roll the bacon around the mixture Folded the ends in before I rolled the outside

6. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes
I used a baking rack over a baking sheet so the heat would circulate and the grease drip down. By the end of the 25 minutes, I did not find it crispy enough all around. I flipped it (carefully) and cooked for another 20.

Breakfast or Dinner? BOTH!

My bacon lattice. Pretty proud!

This might be the 8th deadly sin
