Like I mentioned earlier, mine wasn't really greasy. Nor did I have any problems with indigestion the night we cooked it or the night I had the leftovers. Been watching my weight, trying to knock off a few pounds and though I hadn't dropped any significant weight during the time that I had this, I didn't gain either.

I would imagin the mexican buffet I had for lunch today was more for ruining the diet and indigestion issues that the Bacon Explosion did.


FWIW, I added up the calories in the ingredients I used (obtaining calorie counts from packages were possible, estimates from the net on others - I also used cheese which is added in), came to an estimated total of about 4,200 calories for the entire log, about 3,000 total fat calories per log. My sausage role was approximately 10 inches long after cooking. Cut into 1 inch slices (10 servings) each 1 inch slice would be 420 calories with 300 calories from fat. A 1/2 inch slice would be 210 calories with 150 calories from fat.

'Course keep in mind that this was cooked on a smoker, not fried in a pan of grease, so I would assume that some of the fat had to of dripped off.
