Donald's Bacon Bytes

If you like bacon, you have probably heard of the bacon fatty. Sometimes call the bacon explosion, bacon bomb or other such names. It is basically a bacon weave wrapped around sausage which is stuffed with something in the middle and then bbq’d or smoked.

There are a bunch of posts and images out there of what is called the bacon explosion, pork fatty or bacon bomb and they look soooo good. They are basically a bacon weave with sausage and then smoked for a while. As good as it sounds, I figured I should try to tame it down a little. I eat a lot of fat and protein in my diet but that just seems like a little too much for me.

I was watching the Food Network and they showed this restaurant called Slater’s 50/50. This place was founded with the idea of creating a burger patty out of 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. As I was watching, it was hard not to drool. Why hadn’t I thought of this before? Why did this place have to be so far way?

Since I knew I wasn’t going to make it down to Southern Cal anytime soon, I decided I had to try this burger for myself. But where would I get ground bacon? I called around and couldn’t find it anywhere. After a long search I finally found a place in town that I could buy it. Long’s Meat Market said they could sell me some as long as they had a 24 hour notice!

So, I invited my friend Andrew over (another bacon lover like me) and we bought 1lb of ground bacon along with 1lb of kobe beef (American Kobe). We proceeded to mix the two meats together and add in some jalepeno and garlic for good measure.

After we had it all mixed up, we decided to make little sliders out of these burgers and put them on some hawaiian sweet rolls. These were simply amazing! This was by far one of the best burgers that I have ever had. I can’t wait to try it again.
