Awesome!



I did a few things different. After looking at Buehler's pic, I decided to try making the sausage patty to the side of the bacon weave on foil and extended it to twice as long as the bacon square. This allowed for more thin rolls of sausage so everything wasn't so clumped. Then I added a light mixture of cheddar and colby/jack cheese on top of the sausage patty/bacon bits mix before rolling the sausage. Instead of basting with BBQ sauce towards the end, I sprayed apple cider on it every 30 minutes which made a nice glaze.

I served the slices on bakery style hamburger buns (not from the bread isle, the really good ones from the bakery), topped with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese.


I can't wait until I'm hungry enough for leftovers!



*Several have commented on the grease. Mine wasn't all that bad - no where near as greasy as some of the ribs I've had.

Nice. Did you use italian sausage or regular?

Itallian. Local grocery store has J.C. Potter brand has italian sausage in 1lb rolls. I'd been using it in homemade pizzas for the last 6 months.
